1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,339
one thing that computers are really good

2
00:00:02,100 --> 00:00:06,720
at is repeating commands as a person you

3
00:00:05,339 --> 00:00:09,420
get really bored if you had to do the

4
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,250
same thing lots of times in a row but a

5
00:00:09,420 --> 00:00:13,620
computer can do the same thing millions

6
00:00:11,250 --> 00:00:14,790
or even billions of times and not get

7
00:00:13,620 --> 00:00:15,630
bored and be able to carry that out

8
00:00:14,790 --> 00:00:17,190
really well

9
00:00:15,630 --> 00:00:19,980
so for example if I wanted to wish

10
00:00:17,190 --> 00:00:21,960
everyone on facebook a happy birthday by

11
00:00:19,980 --> 00:00:23,760
sending them an email it might take me

12
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,529
more than a century to actually write

13
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,779
out all of those emails to everyone but

14
00:00:25,529 --> 00:00:30,330
with just a few lines of code i can have

15
00:00:27,779 --> 00:00:32,040
a system send an email to everyone on

16
00:00:30,330 --> 00:00:33,960
facebook wishing them a happy birthday

17
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,520
so that's what loops are and why they're

18
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:38,550
valuable and something that computers

19
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:42,390
can do very well in this example your

20
00:00:38,550 --> 00:00:44,160
goal is going to be to move the bird now

21
00:00:42,390 --> 00:00:45,960
we're going to be able to use the repeat

22
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:48,870
block in order to be able to do this

23
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:51,300
very easily you can either do this by

24
00:00:48,870 --> 00:00:53,969
giving the computer and move forward

25
00:00:51,300 --> 00:00:56,579
command five times in order to advance

26
00:00:53,969 --> 00:00:59,340
the the bird one step each time to the

27
00:00:56,579 --> 00:01:01,469
pig or you can just tell the computer to

28
00:00:59,340 --> 00:01:03,329
move forward once and then tell it to

29
00:01:01,469 --> 00:01:05,820
repeat that five times and it will do

30
00:01:03,329 --> 00:01:08,700
the same thing so in order to do this

31
00:01:05,820 --> 00:01:11,310
you drag your move forward command and

32
00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:14,310
then you put it inside the repeat block

33
00:01:11,310 --> 00:01:15,960
and you can click on it and tell it how

34
00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:17,700
many times you want to repeat the block

35
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:20,490
to tell how many steps you wanted to

36
00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:22,229
take forward now one more thing is you

37
00:01:20,490 --> 00:01:23,880
can put as many commands as you want

38
00:01:22,229 --> 00:01:25,740
inside the repeat block so in this

39
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,710
example your tongue it to move forward

40
00:01:25,740 --> 00:01:35,689
and turn left which will do five times

41
00:01:28,710 --> 00:01:35,689
alright good job and have fun
