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:
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:
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.
