Finishing the signup page

We added an else if alternative branch to the conditional statement, and now the bar changes color from red to yellow if the password is longer than 5 characters. But if the password is longer than 10 characters, then the bar should turn green. We were able to add another else if branch, but in this case else is enough.

Imagine that the password is 11 characters long. In this case, both conditions will return false, and JavaScript will execute the instructions from the else branch.

if (passLength <= 5) {
  // The instructions are executed if the first condition is true
} else if (passLength > 5 && passLength < 10) {
  // The instructions are executed if the second condition is true
} else {
  // The instructions are executed if the both conditions are false
}

Add a third branch to our conditional statement and make sure that the bar color changes from red to yellow and then from yellow to green.

      1. On line 20, add an else branch.
      2. Inside the else curly braces change the background color of the securityBar element to green: 'green'.
      3. In the mini-browser, enter any ten characters in the “Password” input field.
        Please note how the red bar first turned yellow and then green.
