Closing an If statement without using "Else"

Question

Hi everyone,

I´d like to know if it is possible to close an "if statement" without using "else if" or "else", in case there is only one condition to be met.

My code is as follows:

If (Text15 == "BOILING") {

app.alert ("Correct answer. Congratulations!")

}

else if (Text15 !== "BOILING") {

app.alert (Incorrect answer. Please check for any misspelling.");

*** end of code***

Is it aceptable to finish the code with only one "else if" and not using an "else" statement after it, since I don´t have any other conditions to check?

If not, how can I close these sequence of conditions, since I won´t need an "else" statement?

Thanks a lot for your clarification in advance.

Thanks a lot. The code is working properly now.

This would typically be written as:

if (Text15 == "BOILING") {
    app.alert ("Correct answer. Congratulations!");
} else {
    app.alert ("Incorrect answer. Please check for any misspelling.");
}

Well, you're actually declaring and evaluating two conditions in your script, not just one.

If you're using this event as custom calculation script, just close the "else if" condition with the curly brace "}".

There's no need to add anything else.
