As we previously mentioned, we do things based on our present conditions. Like, if we’re hungry, we’d get something to eat; if it’s raining, we would carry an umbrella.
How our actions follow the same:
- If there’s some condition
- Take some action
Using Emojicode, we can add this decision making ability into our program using the ↪️
statement. This ↪️
checks a condition and if the condition evaluates to 👍
, it runs a block of code.
Take for instance:
↪️ 👍 🍇 😀 🔤The condition is 👍🔤❗️ 🍉 💭 Prints: The condition is 👍
Notice how we added the 👍
after the ↪️
. Then we follow up with a block of code using 🍇
and 🍉
. Inside the block of code, we added 😀❗️
to print out the string 🔤The condition is 👍🔤
.
If we change the condition from 👍
to 👎
like so:
↪️ 👎 🍇 😀 🔤The condition is 👍🔤❗️ 🍉 💭 Nothing prints
Our code block doesn’t run since our condition is 👎
. Therefore, we wouldn’t get anything printed to the terminal.
Let’s create our own conditional to see it in action.
Instructions
Add a ↪️
statement that accepts the condition 👍
. Then, add an empty code block using 🍇
and 🍉
.
Inside the code block, add a print statement using 😀❗️
and print out a string of your choice! For example: 🔤I'm 👑 of the world!🔤
.
Now just play around with the code:
- Try changing the
👍
to a👎
. - Add in more
😀❗️
statements. - Create additional conditionals.
