Lesson 5.2 If/Else Statements

Description

In this lesson we take a look at more conditional statements, more specifically if/else statements. If/else statements let us do one thing if a condition is true, and something else otherwise.

We write if/else statements like this:

if(frontIsClear()) {
    // code to execute if front is clear
} else {
    // code to execute otherwise
}

Objective

Students will be able to…
* Explain the purpose of an If/Else statement
* Create If/Else statements to solve new types of problems
* Identify when an If/Else statement is appropriate to be used
