Description
A step by step computer programming lesson in Scratch with an introduction to the Scratch workspace leading up to the exercise.
Lesson 3: Introduction To Conditional Statements
This simple introductory coding activity will focus on conditional statements in programming. A conditional statement is a line of code that determines whether or not the next block of code will be executed; it says IF a condition we are evaluating is true, only then should we execute the rest of the actions in the block of code. In this animation we will have a sprite either walk toward or away from a cave depending on user input.
In this example you'll:
- Get to know the Scratch development workspace
- Learn how to ingest user input in a script
- Learn about conditional ("if") statements
- Introduction to simple operators
