--description--

The text is gone again! Empty strings evaluate to false, making them a falsy value. You will learn more about truthy and falsy values in future projects.

In addition to if statements, JavaScript also has else if statements. else if statements allow you to check multiple conditions in a single block of code.

Here is the syntax for an else if statement:

if (condition1) {
  // code to run if condition1 is true
} else if (condition2) {
  // code to run if condition2 is true
} else if (condition3) {
  // code to run if condition3 is true
} 

If the first condition is false, JavaScript will check the next condition in the chain. If the second condition is false, JavaScript will check the third condition, and so on.

Below your if statement, add an else if statement that checks if 5 is less than 10. Then inside the body of the else if statement, log the string "5 is less than 10" to the console.

Check the console to see the results.

--hints--

You should have an else if statement.

assert.match(__helpers.removeJSComments(code), /else\s+if\s*\(/);

Your else if statement should check if 5 is less than 10.

assert.match(__helpers.removeJSComments(code), /else\s+if\s*\(\s*5\s*<\s*10\s*\)/);

You should log the string "5 is less than 10" to the console.

assert.match(__helpers.removeJSComments(code), /console\.log\(\s*('|"|`)5\s+is\s+less\s+than\s+10\1\s*\)/);

function padRow(rowNumber, rowCount) {
  return " ".repeat(rowCount - rowNumber) + character.repeat(2 * rowNumber - 1) + " ".repeat(rowCount - rowNumber);
}

// TODO: use a different type of loop
/*for (let i = 1; i <= count; i++) {
  rows.push(padRow(i, count));
