$.ajax if condition
<p>I failed to write a condition inside of ajax by using the following syntax. </p>

<pre><code>      var num = 1;
      $.ajax({
          type: "POST",
      //condition starts
        if (num === 1){
          url: url1,
          data: data1,
        }else{
          url: url2,
          data: data2,
        }
        //condition finishes
          success: success,
          dataType: dataType
        });
</code></pre>

<p>but this way works. </p>

<pre><code> var num = 1;
if(num === 1){
    $.ajax({
  type: "POST",
  url: url1,
  data: data1,
  success: success,
  dataType: dataType
});
}else{
    $.ajax({
  type: "POST",
  url: url2,
  data: data2,
  success: success,
  dataType: dataType
});
}
</code></pre>

<p>the 2nd method is not quite ideal as repeating my code. 
is my first script in a wrong syntax? Could someone please point out? thanks</p>
