Beyond the lesson

In this lesson you learned how to:

• Use conditional statements to control an expression.

  You can accomplish many expression tasks with several if statements strung after one another. However, using else statements instead of multiple if statements makes an expression simpler to read.

  If statements and else statements are two of the most common programming features available in expressions. If you’re familiar with programming, you can write expressions with an extensive syntax similar to the C language.
