Else-if syntax error?

Question

var to = ['user1', '@user2', 'user3@email.com']

The following codeset should keep 'user1' in the to array, remove the '@' from the start of '@user2', and move 'user3@email.com' to the toEmail array

Right now, else if (toName[j] == '@') { is logging 'syntax error'

var toEmail = [];
var pushToEmail;
for (i=0; i<to.length; i++) {
  var pushToEmail = false;
  var toName = to[i];
  for (j=0; j<toName.length; j++) {
    if (toName[0] == '@') {
      toName[0] = toName[0].replace(/@/g, ''); // remove '@''
    }
    console.log('toName[0] = ' + toName[0]);
    else if (toName[j] == '@') {
      pushToEmail = true;
      break;
    }
  }
  if (pushToEmail == true) {
    toEmail += to.splice(INDEX, 1)[i];
  }
}

Answer 1

You have a syntax error. You can't just throw a console.log in the space between an if and an else . The else has to be attached to an if statement, you've tried to attach that else to a console.log .
