Logic and choice

In this chapter we will learn more about how computers use logic and can choose between different options. In this way, our programs become smarter!

Choosing

In this section, we'll see how our code can start thinking on its own and make decisions based on circumstances, and be able to provide the user with different options.
Logical conditions

In this section, we will take a deeper look at the logical conditions in if-statements, and use the keywords else, and, or, not.
Mor options

In this section, we will use if-statements to improve a program from a previous section.
Game

In this section, we will build our first game: The classic Rock, Paper, Scissors. We only need the parts we've already learned.
Simple repetition

Now that we know how to have programs make choices, it is time to teach them to repeat code and follow patterns, something that's required in almost every application.

Your alarm clock (or the alarm on your phone) has a simple if statement: Is the current time equal to the time saved? If so, the alarm should ring, and otherwise nothing happens.

Alarm systems for houses or office buildings use various sensors that tell if a door has been opened or if they have seen any movement. The information comes to the computer as with the if-statement "has any sensor sent a signal?" starts calling the emergency center.
