Important Programming Concepts

What is a variable?

It's like a box with a name, where you put the number 9 into a box named "age". If I ask you how old you are, then you don't say "9", but you give me the box named age, and I am going to look it up on my own. I can take stuff out from the box, change what's in the box, use what's in the box, put things back in the box... etc

In our app, our variable is called TimesClicked

What is an If Statement?

Also called Selection statement. It is a decision-making statement that guides a program to make decisions based on specified trigger, criteria, or variable.

In this case, our If Statement decides when to change screen based on the TimesClicked variable.
