## Render with an If/Else Condition
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Method
 | 
						|
Inside of the render method of the component, write if/else statements that each have it's own return method that has different JSX. This gives programmers the ability to render different UI according to various conditions.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
First, wrap the current return method inside of an if statement and set the condition to check if the variable 'display' is true. Remember, you access state using `this.state`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Solution
 | 
						|
```react.js
 | 
						|
if (this.state.display === true) {
 | 
						|
  return (
 | 
						|
    <div>
 | 
						|
      <button onClick={this.toggleDisplay}>Toggle Display</button>
 | 
						|
      <h1>Displayed!</h1>
 | 
						|
    </div>
 | 
						|
  );
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Next, create an else statement that returns the same JSX **without** the `h1` element. 
 | 
						|
```react.js
 | 
						|
else {
 | 
						|
  return (
 | 
						|
    <div>
 | 
						|
      <button onClick={this.toggleDisplay}>Toggle Display</button>
 | 
						|
    </div>
 | 
						|
  )
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
