Learn how to control the flow of your JavaScript code using Conditional Statements. In this video, we break down how to make decisions in your code using If, Else-If, and Switch cases.

Understanding "Control Flow" is critical for Automation Testing. You need these logic statements to tell your script what to do when a test passes versus when it fails.

We use real-world examples (like checking laptop battery levels) to make the logic easy to understand.

This tutorial requires Visual Studio Code and Node.js.
