Using Or (||) inside "if" statements

Javascript Programming
#1

Hi, Does anyone know if there is a way to allow for 2 correct “if” answers (Warszawa and warszawa) by skipping (else if)?

  • Normal inefficient noob way:

    var answer = prompt("What is the capital of Poland?");
  if (answer == "Warszawa") {prompt("Exactly");
  }
    else if (answer == "warszawa") {prompt("Almost correct, 
    next time use a Capital letter when writing Warszawa");
    }
      else {prompt("Wrong, the correct answer is Warszawa");
      }

  • This is my unsuccessful idea:

var answer = prompt(“What is the capital of Poland?”);
if (answer == “Warszawa” || “warszawa”) {prompt(“Exactly”);
}
else {prompt(“Wrong, the correct answer is Warszawa”);
}
