If you visualize the question 

var x = 23;
if (x < 10) {
console.log("Your number is less than 10");
} else if (x < 20) {
console.log("Your number is greater than 10 but less than 20");
} else if (x < 30) {
console.log("Your number is greater than 20 but less than 30");
} else {
console.log("Your number is greater than 30");

The first if statement is a code block, the first else if is another code block, the second else if is another code block, and lastly the else is a code block.

So what is the maximum number of code blocks in that conditional statement that can RUN?( keep in mind once a condition/code block returns true then it will exit out of the conditional)
