Rewrite the "switch" into an "if"

importance: 5

Write the code using if..else which would correspond to the following switch:

switch (browser) {
 case 'Edge':
 alert( "You've got the Edge!" );
 break;
 case 'Chrome':
 case 'Firefox':
 case 'Safari':
 case 'Opera':
 alert( 'Okay we support these browsers too' );
 break;
 default:
 alert( 'We hope that this page looks ok!' );
}

To precisely match the functionality of switch, the if must use a strict comparison '==='.

For given strings though, a simple '==' works too.

if(browser == 'Edge') {
 alert("You've got the Edge!");
} else if (browser == 'Chrome'
 || browser == 'Firefox'
 || browser == 'Safari'
 || browser == 'Opera') {
 alert( 'Okay we support these browsers too' );
} else {
 alert( 'We hope that this page looks ok!' );
}

Please note: the construct browser == 'Chrome' || browser == 'Firefox' ... is split into multiple lines for better readability.

But the switch construct is still cleaner and more descriptive.
