Concatenate

Furthermore you can concatenate different conditions with "or” or “and” statements, to test whether either statement is true, or both are true, respectively.

In JavaScript “or” is written as || and “and” is written as &&.

Say you want to test if the value of x is between 10 and 20—you could do that with a condition stating:

if(x > 10 && x < 20) {
    ...
}

If you want to make sure that country is either “England” or “Germany” you use:

if(country === "England" || country === "Germany") {
    ...
}

Note: Just like operations on numbers, Condtions can be grouped using parenthesis, ex: if ( (name === "John" || name === "Jennifer") && country === "France").

Exercise

Fill up the 2 conditions so that primaryCategory equals "E/J" only if name equals "John" and country is "England", and so that secondaryCategory equals "E|J" only if name equals "John" or country is "England"

var name = "John";
var country = "England";
var primaryCategory, secondaryCategory;

if ( /* Fill here */ ) {
    primaryCategory = "E/J";
}
if ( /* Fill here */ ) {
    secondaryCategory = "E|J";
}
