That program we wrote, that was pretty involved.
0:02
Yeah we only used a few core concepts
0:04
but they were really important things that we covered
0:06
and we kind of built this little kind of game challenge
0:09
type thing for our customers that was cool.
0:11
When we want to have some kind of conditional logic
0:15
branching logic, do this or that
0:18
based on some condition
0:19
we used the if the, elif, and the else keywords.
0:22
So in this case we're going to get a number
0:24
some random number and a guess from the user.
0:26
You can imagine how that goes
0:28
from the previous example we just did
0:30
and we're going to test, is the guess too low.
0:33
If it is, we're going to print out a message
0:34
hey the guess is too low.
0:35
If the guess is too high, we're going to say else, if, elif
0:39
is the other test, is the guess too high
0:41
then it's too high.
0:42
If it's not too low, it's not too high
0:44
it must be Goldilocks, it's just right
0:46
so they must be equal.
0:48
We're going to say yes you got it.

There were however many numbers of M&Ms in the jar.
