Aim of the puzzle: Edit an if statement.
Walk through of solution: If statements are used to run a block of code only if a certain condition is true. It looks like this:
if (x === 5) {
print(x)
}
Inside the () is the test. It uses the equality operator === to check if x is equal to 5. If this is true, then the code inside the {} will run, and x will be printed to the console. If x is not 5, then the program will skip over the if statement, and the code inside the {} will not run.
In this puzzle, the value variable uses pickRandom to choose between the strings 'oi' and 'hola'. The variable is then printed to the console, so we can see which was picked.
The 1st if statement checks if value is equal to 'hola'. If this is true, then the string 'Hi in Spanish' will be printed.
The 2nd if statement will check if value === 'oi'. If this is true, then the string 'Hi in Portuguese' will be printed.
Sample code solution:
var value = pickRandom(['oi', 'hola']);
print(value);
if (value === 'hola') {
print('Hi in Spanish');
}
if (value === 'oi') {
print('Hi in Portuguese');
}
