Javascript syntax

1

I only know how to use if, elif and else in Python, but how do I write “elif” in Javascript? I would also like to know how to add a “repeat” and “target” ability to it.
Any help would be welcome.

The JavaScript equivalent of Python’s elif is else if:

if (someCondition) {
    // Do something if `someCondition` is true
} else if (anotherCondition) {
    // Do something if `someCondition` is false and `anotherCondition` is true
} else if (yetAnotherCondition) {
    // Do something if both `someCondition` and `anotherCondition` are false
    // and `yetAnotherCondition` is true
}

Note that the syntax above is just a nicer way to write nested else/if statements and is completely equivalent to this:

if (someCondition) {
    // Do something if `someCondition` is true
} else {
    if (anotherCondition) {
        // Do something if `someCondition` is false and `anotherCondition` is true
    } else {
        if (yetAnotherCondition) {
            // Do something if both `someCondition` and `anotherCondition` are
            // false and `yetAnotherCondition` is true
        }
    }
}

As for repeat and target, can you a bit more specific about what kind of behavior you want to achieve?
