WEBVTT 00:00:03.700 --> 00:00:13.599 if I went to draw a rectangle that is 50 pixels tall and that is twice as wide as 00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:15.009 it is tall 00:00:15.009 --> 00:00:19.960 how would I programmed the computer to do that well I could tell the artist to 00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:25.990 go up 50 turn right and then go over 100 and move the whole thing twice but then 00:00:25.990 --> 00:00:31.150 i'm doing the math for the computer multiplying 50 x 2 in your head may not 00:00:31.150 --> 00:00:36.220 be that hard but computers are really good doing that so we should leave it to 00:00:36.220 --> 00:00:41.140 them whenever possible if I just use the variable called height instead then I 00:00:41.140 --> 00:00:46.540 could easily change height 250 and then change my algorithm to tell the artist 00:00:46.540 --> 00:00:52.989 to go up by height turn right and then go over x height x 2 which gives us a 00:00:52.989 --> 00:00:55.720 rectangle that is twice as wide as it is tall
