Introduction to Conditional Statements: VBScript Tutorial #4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We discussed \u2018Constants, Operators and Operators Precedence in the VBScript<\/a>‘ in my previous 3rd tutorial<\/strong> in the ‘Learning VBScript<\/a>‘ series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, I will explain the different Conditional Statements used in the VBScript. It would help if you had a good understanding of these conditional statements to proceed with the subsequent topics easily. <\/wp-block><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tutorial briefs you about the meaning and types of Conditional Statements in detail along with simple examples for your easy understanding.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s discuss Conditional Statements.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conditional Statements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As the name itself explains, Conditional Statements<\/strong> refer to a set of statements that are written to meet a particular condition. In simple terms, these are such statements that help in the decision-making process by enabling one to check if any specific condition is met or not as per the requirement of a program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At times a situation may occur when in a piece of code, some actions are required to be performed for taking some decisions and Conditional Statements satisfy this criterion. These statements are widely used during coding, hence they form the basis of a programming language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me quote a simple Example<\/em><\/span><\/strong> from our day-to-day life to make you understand this more clearly. Let’s consider a scenario that \u2018you have to go to some party today<\/em> but there are some conditions for that. If the cab comes then you will be able to go to the party or else you will have to miss the party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In such a case, conditional statements can be written as follows:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a cab comes Then<\/em>
   you will go <\/em>to the party<\/em>
Else<\/em>
   you will miss the party<\/em>
End If<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s discuss the various types of Conditional Statements in the VBScript.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Various Conditional Statements in the VBScript<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

VBScript language supports 4 kinds of Conditional Statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of us must already be aware of these statements while working in other programming languages. Out of these statements, any one statement can be used based on your requirement and it’s up to you to decide and pick the best option for a specific scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
