i need help
i am making a program that conjugates spanish words
this is only the beginning part that determines what the last two letters is(those are important)
when i put only the "if" part it works fine
but when i puts the "else if" and "else" parts in it doesn't work
var pronoun = prompt("What is your pronoun(put yo, tu, el, etc.)");
var verb = prompt("What is your verb");
if (verb.length === 2) {
var last = verb.substring(0,2);
};
else if (verb.length === 3) {
var last = verb.substring(1,3);
};
else if (verb.length === 4) {
var last = verb.substring(2,4);
};
else if (verb.length === 5) {
var last = verb.substring(3,5);
};
else if (verb.length === 6) {
var last = verb.substring(4,6);
};
else if (verb.length === 7) {
var last = verb.substring(5,7);
};
else if (verb.length === 8) {
var last = verb.substring(6,8);
};
else if (verb.length === 9) {
var last = verb.substring(7,19);
};
else if (verb.length === 10) {
var last = verb.substring(8,10);
};
else if (verb.length === 11) {
var last = verb.substring(9,11);
};
else if (verb.length === 12) {
var last = verb.substring(10,12);
};
else if (verb.length === 13) {
var last = verb.substring(11,13);
};
else if (verb.length === 14) {
var last = verb.substring(12,14);
};
else (verb.length === 15) {
var last = verb.substring(13,15);
};
alert(last)

there is syntax error in your code.
remove ; after each }

I removed the ;s
but it still doesn't work
are them any more bugs?

on the last else it says missing ; before statement
what does that mean

it can either be
Code:
else if (verb.length === 15) {
var last = verb.substring(13,15);
}
or just
Code:
else {
var last = verb.substring(13,15);
}
an else without an if is like the default - if nothing else matches, the code goes with that one.
By the way, being that you only want the last two letters of the infinitive, why not avoid all the if elses and just do
