Conditional statements help you control the computer's actions. Learn how to use these statements.
- [Instructor] Often times when you're programming … you'll need to control the flow of your program's … execution and conditional statements can help you with that. … A conditional statement instructs the computer to perform … specific actions if specifics conditions are met. … For example say you wanted to build a program that asks … the user for whether it's raining … and if it is raining tells the user that they … need an umbrella. … Your program would look something like this. … In this cell, in the first line I created a variable … named raining and assigned it the users answer … to the question, is it raining? … Yes or no. … In the second and third lines I check if the user … responded yes and if they did you need an umbrella … gets printed out. … Now go ahead and run this cell. … And I'll act as a user. … I'm asked the question is it raining, yes or no? … Currently where I am it's not raining so I'll answer no. … And press enter. … And now if I print out raining, I get no. … Which is exactly what I answered. …
