# E0017: if statement needs parentheses around condition

In JavaScript, `if` statements require parentheses around the condition. It is an error to omit the parentheses:

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

To fix this error, add `(` and `)`:

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

Introduced in quick-lint-js version 0.2.0.
