This lesson is called conditionals with cards.[br]Every day you make decisions based on what

0:00:12.350,0:00:19.430
you see and hear. I want to walk to the park[br]but first I have to decide if I should

0:00:19.430,0:00:24.550
bring an umbrella or not. So I look out the[br]window. If it's cloudy, I'm going to take

0:00:24.550,0:00:30.320
my umbrella. Else, I'll take some sunglasses.[br]I think I'd better take the umbrella. What

0:00:30.320,0:00:36.980
I see and hear determines what I take to the[br]park. Conditionals are used in games too.

Today we're going to practice using conditionals[br]with a card game. In this game, the card that

0:00:40.989,0:00:50.429
I draw determines what my friends are going[br]to do. If I draw a seven, everyone claps.

0:00:50.429,0:01:03.280
Else, everyone says "awww." Let's try it![br]I bet you can make up games

0:01:03.280,0:01:08.530
that are even more fun with conditionals.[br]Give it a try! Conditionals are what make

0:01:08.530,0:01:14.790
computers seem smart. A computer program that[br]includes conditionals can react to the user

0:01:14.790,0:01:20.180
and change its course of action. Think about[br]your favorite video game. Do you earn more

0:01:20.180,0:01:26.119
points for some actions than you do for others?[br]This occurs because the computer is using

0:01:26.119,0:01:34.070
conditionals. It's the way a computer makes[br]a decision. How about, if you hit the target,

0:01:34.070,0:01:40.109
you earn ten points. Else, you lose three.[br]When you know how conditionals work, you can

0:01:40.109,0:01:41.579
create all kinds of exciting games.
