Conditions
if / else, switch, and the ternary — three ways to pick a path.
Conditions branch execution. `if / else if / else` reads top to bottom and runs the first branch whose test is true. `switch` compares one value against several cases with strict equality. The ternary `condition ? a : b` is an expression, so it can sit inline anywhere a value is expected.

Why?
Only one branch ever runs per call — as soon as a test passes, the rest of the chain is skipped entirely.
