Question

I have got the following IF condition code:

if ((depth <= min_depth ) && (leaf_colour == "red")){

    for (i = 0; i < array_2D.length; i++) {
        var leaf_size = array_2D[i][1];

        if (leaf_size  == 10 || leaf_size  == 11){
            alert("Error message.");
            break;  // we found an error, displayed error message and now leave the loop
        }
            else{ go to the next else section }
    }
}//end of if condition 

else{

    ...
    ...
    ...
    ...
    ...

}

Inside the ‘FOR’ loop, if (leaf_size == 10 || leaf_size == 11), we break the loop and do nothing but if this is not the case, i would like to run the code in the next ELSE section.

I do not want to copy the whole block of code and paste it inside the ‘else’ section of the for loop as it’s quite long.

Is there a way of running the code in the second else section?

var ok = (depth <= min_depth ) && (leaf_colour == "red");
if (ok){

    for (i = 0; i < array_2D.length; i++) {
        var leaf_size = array_2D[i][1];

        if (leaf_size  == 10 || leaf_size  == 11){
            alert("Error message.");
            ok = false;
            break; 
        }
        else{ 
                ok = true;
                break;
            }
    }
}//end of if condition 

if(!ok) {

    ...
    ...
    ...
    ...
    ...

}
