JavaScript AND OR in IF Statement to Check For Multiple Conditions Absolute Beginner

Using “AND  &&” in The Conditions Statement

Sometimes we need to check and see if 2 condition are met. Let’s say we wanted to display “Its the Weekend In June” in June. Then for rest of the months we just want to say “It’s the Weekend”. How can we accomplish this? Look at this code.

<script>
var x = document.getElementById('foo');
var y = new Date().getDay();
var z = new Date().getMonth();

if(y==5 || y==6 || y==0 && z==5){
x.innerHTML="Its The Weekend in June!";
}else if(y==5 || y==6 || y==0){
x.innerHTML="Its the weekend";
}else{
x.innerHTML="Have a Nice Day";
}
</script>

Explanation of Code

We made a few changes from the previous code. The first change is we set a new variable of “z”. With it we got the month of the year. Remember that the numbering starts at “0”. In JavaScript, you have 0 to 11 for the months, so the month of June would be #5. In the IF condition, we added “&& z==5” to check and see if we were in June. If we met the conditions we display, “It’s the weekend in June”. Next, we added a “else if” statement to check for another condition. We are checking to make sure the days are still the weekend, however NOT the weekend in June. If we meet this condition, then we display “Have a Nice Day.
