Hey there.
1

2
00:00:01,250 --> 00:00:07,190
I've got a simple practice activity here that I'd like for you to attempt to solve regarding if statements.
2

3
00:00:07,550 --> 00:00:11,750
You're going to create a variable here and you're going to call it weather and set it to a string like
3

4
00:00:11,750 --> 00:00:12,650
overcast.
4

5
00:00:13,010 --> 00:00:17,690
Using this variable, I'd like for you to create an if statement to check if the variable is equivalent
5

6
00:00:17,690 --> 00:00:18,740
to another string.
6

7
00:00:18,740 --> 00:00:22,130
So if it's snowing out, then print into the console.
7

8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:23,540
Today is a cold day.
8

9
00:00:23,780 --> 00:00:25,700
If it's rainy out, then print.
9

10
00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:27,500
Grab an umbrella, it's raining.
10

11
00:00:27,590 --> 00:00:29,240
If it's overcast, then print.
11

12
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:30,470
Today is cloudy.
12

13
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:34,460
Otherwise, if none of those evaluated are true, then you can print.
13

14
00:00:34,460 --> 00:00:35,780
It's a nice sunny day.
14

15
00:00:36,350 --> 00:00:41,150
So please pause the video and take a minute or two to solve and finish this activity.
15

16
00:00:41,390 --> 00:00:43,730
I'll show you my solution in a little bit.
16

17
00:00:45,820 --> 00:00:49,540
Okay, So to solve this problem, I'm going to create a variable here.
17

18
00:00:50,650 --> 00:00:51,580
Call it weather.
18

19
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,460
And I'll set the string to be overcast.
19

20
00:00:56,620 --> 00:01:01,360
Next, I'll create a new if statement and pass my weather variable.
20

21
00:01:03,010 --> 00:01:06,450
And then using the operator we saw earlier to compare equivalence,
21

22
00:01:06,460 --> 00:01:10,780
I'll check to see if the string is equal to snowing.
22

23
00:01:13,210 --> 00:01:14,680
If so, we'll print.
23

24
00:01:15,620 --> 00:01:17,630
Today is a cold day.
24

25
00:01:21,430 --> 00:01:24,790
Else if the weather is equivalent to raining.
25

26
00:01:27,530 --> 00:01:28,490
Then we'll print.
26

27
00:01:30,710 --> 00:01:32,090
Grab an umbrella.
27

28
00:01:33,670 --> 00:01:34,750
It's raining.
28

29
00:01:36,170 --> 00:01:38,750
Else if the weather is overcast.
29

30
00:01:42,140 --> 00:01:43,190
Then we'll print.
30

31
00:01:43,370 --> 00:01:45,350
Today is cloudy.
31

32
00:01:47,090 --> 00:01:49,310
And lastly, we'll use else here.
32

33
00:01:50,060 --> 00:01:51,100
And just print.
33

34
00:01:51,110 --> 00:01:52,940
It's a nice sunny day.
34

35
00:01:54,230 --> 00:01:56,930
When all the other conditions did not evaluate to true.
35

36
00:01:57,820 --> 00:02:02,290
Now we can run our game and see if the results we get are the ones we expect.
36

37
00:02:03,950 --> 00:02:04,580
Great.
37

38
00:02:05,060 --> 00:02:10,460
Now we can end the test and continue changing this variable to check the other parts of our if statement.
38

39
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:20,170
So I'll just change the value here to be snowing and then we can test to see if we get.
39

40
00:02:20,170 --> 00:02:22,210
Today is a cool day and we do.
40

41
00:02:23,330 --> 00:02:26,840
Let me end the test and then I'll change it to.
41

42
00:02:28,140 --> 00:02:32,880
Partly cloudy and see if we get the message.
42

43
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,880
It's a nice sunny day and we do.
43

44
00:02:36,450 --> 00:02:37,230
Excellent.
