How do I simplify else if statements? I want the code to be able to run a bunch of code based on the users input, such as bring to link for some of them, so I am not looking for

alert (prompt)

BELOW IS AN EXAMPLE

var prompt = prompt ("Test");

if (prompt == "test1")
alert ("test1")


else if (prompt == "Test2")
alert ("test2")


else if (prompt == "Test3")
alert ("Test3")

Is there a way to stop copy pasting the else if statements and shorten the code? Sorry. Im a bit newbie.

Have you looked into switch statements? It may provide cleaner code and possibly better speed if you have a lot of possibilities (more than 5) for the prompt var.

var prompt = "Test1"
switch(prompt) 
 case "Test1":
 alert(prompt)
 break;
 case "Test2":
 alert(prompt)
 break;
 default:
 alert(prompt)
