Hello, i have a question . is it common to have a second conditional statement? altought i m a beginner to JS. i never saw this. can anyone give me some info on this? i saw it the first time during this video
let correctGuess = false; const number = 6 ; const guess =prompt("guess a number between 1-10");
if (+guess === number) {
correctGuess = true;
} if ( correctGuess=== true) { console.log('The condition is false.'); }
else {
console.log(Sorry. the number was ${number});
}

3,585 Pointsyour right i had the same question. in the video the teachers uses two if statements. he could just use one if statement and use that to do two things at once like checking if the condition is true and imediatly print it to the console in the same if statement. So the second if statement is redundant.
That is what you meant right?

But I think this was done just to illustrate the use of Boolean values.

231,275 PointsIt's not clear what you are asking about. Perhaps you could show the code, or give a time reference in the video where the "second conditional statement" can be seen.
