Check whether an item from a dropdown list is selected

I have a multi-select HTML dropdown list. I want to check on button click whether there is any item selected or not. If there is no element selected, then alert "Item not selected" else for selected items alert "selected".

if ($("#ddl1 >option").length >= 1) {

    if ($("#ddl1 >option:selected").val() == 'undefined') {
        alert("Not selected"); 
    } else {
        alert("deleted"); 
    }

} else
    alert("list empty");

You can use length <= 0 here

if ($("#ddl1 > option").length >= 1) {
    if ($("#ddl1 > option:selected").length <= 0) {
        alert("Not selected");
    } else {
        alert("deleted");
    }
} else alert("list empty");
