switch_vs_elseif.js

//Else if and Switch statement
//suppose 40 out of 50 is the pass mark.  if example:
var result = 39;
//var result= 45;
if (result>40){
    console.log('You passed the test');
}
else{
    console.log("You failed the test");
}

//Else if example
//var place = 'first';
//var place = "second"
/*var place = "third"
if (place=="first"){
    console.log("Gold medal");
}
else if (place=="second"){
    console.log('silver medal');
}
else if (place=="third"){
    console.log('Bronze medal');
}
else{
    console.log("No medal")
}*/

//BUt if in the above example there are large number of options such as 10. That's when switch is preferred.eg;
var place= "fourth";
switch(place){
case("first"):
    console.log("GOld medal");
    break;
case("second"):
    console.log("Silver medal");
    break;
case("third"):
    console.log("Bronze medal");
    break;
default:
    console.log("No medal");
