00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.339
one thing that computers are really good

00:00:02.100 --> 00:00:06.720
at is repeating commands as a person you

00:00:05.339 --> 00:00:09.420
get really bored if you had to do the

00:00:06.720 --> 00:00:11.250
same thing lots of times in a row but a

00:00:09.420 --> 00:00:13.620
computer can do the same thing millions

00:00:11.250 --> 00:00:14.790
or even billions of times and not get

00:00:13.620 --> 00:00:15.630
bored and be able to carry that out

00:00:14.790 --> 00:00:17.190
really well

00:00:15.630 --> 00:00:19.980
so for example if I wanted to wish

00:00:17.190 --> 00:00:21.960
everyone on facebook a happy birthday by

00:00:19.980 --> 00:00:23.760
sending them an email it might take me

00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:25.529
more than a century to actually write

00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:27.779
out all of those emails to everyone but

00:00:25.529 --> 00:00:30.330
with just a few lines of code i can have

00:00:27.779 --> 00:00:32.040
a system send an email to everyone on

00:00:30.330 --> 00:00:33.960
facebook wishing them a happy birthday

00:00:32.040 --> 00:00:35.520
so that's what loops are and why they're

00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:38.550
valuable and something that computers

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:42.390
can do very well in this example your

00:00:38.550 --> 00:00:44.160
goal is going to be to move the bird now

00:00:42.390 --> 00:00:45.960
we're going to be able to use the repeat

00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:48.870
block in order to be able to do this

00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:51.300
very easily you can either do this by

00:00:48.870 --> 00:00:53.969
giving the computer and move forward

00:00:51.300 --> 00:00:56.579
command five times in order to advance

00:00:53.969 --> 00:00:59.340
the the bird one step each time to the

00:00:56.579 --> 00:01:01.469
pig or you can just tell the computer to

00:00:59.340 --> 00:01:03.329
move forward once and then tell it to

00:01:01.469 --> 00:01:05.820
repeat that five times and it will do

00:01:03.329 --> 00:01:08.700
the same thing so in order to do this

00:01:05.820 --> 00:01:11.310
you drag your move forward command and

00:01:08.700 --> 00:01:14.310
then you put it inside the repeat block

00:01:11.310 --> 00:01:15.960
and you can click on it and tell it how

00:01:14.310 --> 00:01:17.700
many times you want to repeat the block

00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:20.490
to tell how many steps you wanted to

00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:22.229
take forward now one more thing is you

00:01:20.490 --> 00:01:23.880
can put as many commands as you want

00:01:22.229 --> 00:01:25.740
inside the repeat block so in this

00:01:23.880 --> 00:01:28.710
example your tongue it to move forward

00:01:25.740 --> 00:01:35.689
and turn left which will do five times

00:01:28.710 --> 00:01:35.689
alright good job and have fun
