Coding For Teachers

Conditional and Booleans

Attention: Our videos have subtitles in all partner languages. You can switch on subtitles in the youtube player by clicking the gear wheel and selecting your preferred language.

In this section, we delve deeper into program logic and introduce the conditionals that help you control which part of your code is run at a given time. We also explain the logic of booleans and how to use them. What if you could make your programs make choices? That is exactly what this video is all about. You will learn how to give an output based on the input. If the input is true the program does something, if it is false, it will do something else.
