why do we toggle after the conditional?

Bit confused on why we toggle after the if statement? I would've thought we would toggle after the condition is set, and then toggle?

Hi Mayur,

In the video, Andrew is creating a function named editTask in which he can add to the "Edit" button to add a class of .editMode in the parent <li> of that task item. He added toggle function so if he clicked the "Edit" button he'll be able to add and remove that class (.editMode).

If you check the CSS of that project he's using the .editMode class to style the task item. So if the task <li> has the .editMode class then some elements will be shown (in this case the <input> element).

Hope this clarify your question.

Best Regards,

Owa
