We make decisions every day based on certain conditions.
Is the alarm ringing? If so, turn it off. Is it raining? If so, bring an umbrella. Is the ice cream truck parked outside? If so, it’s time for a treat.
We can also implement this decision-making ability in our programs using conditionals. Conditionals check on values and, depending on their status (if the values turn out to be true
or false
), executes an appropriate block of code in response.
In this lesson we’ll cover:
if
,else if
, andelse
statements.- comparison operators.
- logical operators.
- the
switch
statement. - short declarations in conditionals.
- how to use conditionals in randomized conditions.
