# E0018: if statement is missing '(' or ')' around condition

An `if` statement is missing either `(` before the condition or `)` after the condition:

    if (2 + 2 == 4 {
      console.log("Math works!");
    }
    if 4 == 2 + 2) {
      console.log("Jedi math works!");
    }

To fix this error, add the missing `(` or `)`:

    if (2 + 2 == 4) {
      console.log("Math works!");
    }
    if (4 == 2 + 2) {
      console.log("Jedi math works!");
    }

Introduced in quick-lint-js version 0.2.0.
