If Then Else (otherwise)

You are making choices every day! Should I wear my black shoes or my white shoes? Should I put my hair in a ponytail or where it down? Should I have ham or cheese in my sandwiches? Should I talk in keep typing on my keyboard or should I listen to the teacher?

You use these kinds of decisions hundreds of times a day. You life is non-linear, it is based on decisions that you make. Computers are the same. A computer will not do anything until you tell it to do something and you do that using code. Computers rely on you as a code to code it's decisions, this is called LOGIC.

You are going to use this logic in the form of IF, THEN and ELSE commands -

IF something is doing this, THEN do that, ELSE do something else.

In English this might read:

If my friends calls me to go to the park, then I will get ready and meet him at the park, otherwise I will stay at home and read my book.

You are going to create a "Choose your own Adventure" Story based on this concept.
