Conditionals
Please read the Hello World and Variables sections before continuing with this section.
For a full list of conditions for each variable type, read the Conditionals Logic Documentation.
In programming, a conditional (also known as "if-statement") is a control-flow statement directing your program to perform different actions depending on whether or not the programmer-specified condition is true or false.
For this example, we create a variable called Number and set it to the value 4.
Drag the "If" module from your Logic Panel as the next step in your program.
For this example, we want to build logic that says "If our Number variable is greater than or equal to 100 - then print "This is a big number", Else print "This is a small number".
We can also add additional branches to our conditional. The first branch which is True will execute. If no branch is True then the Else branch will execute.
We can now add different sets of actions to each branch of the conditional. If the condition is True, it will execute one set of actions, otherwise it will run a different set of actions. We can have as many branches as we want and the first branch that is True will execute (see note above).
Press the "Run Main" button to run your program. You can see that the If-statement evaluated to False (because 4 is not greater than or equal to 100). Our program prints "This is a small number!".
Try changing the number of your Number variable and rerunning the program.
