When you compare two Numbers, you get a Boolean value, such as the comparison `x < 5` in the code below:
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
let x = Math.random(5)
|
||||
if(x < 5) {
|
||||
basic.showString("low");
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
basic.showString("high");
|
||||
}
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
||||
let x = Math.random(5)
|
||||
if(x < 5) {
|
||||
basic.showString("low");
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
basic.showString("high");
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See the documentation on [Numbers](/reference/types/number) for more information on comparing two Numbers. You can also [compare strings](/reference/types/string-functions) using the `equals` function.

# On Start
|
||||
|
||||
An event that runs when the program starts.
|
||||
|
||||
The ``on start`` is a special event that runs when the program starts, before any other event.
|
||||
Use this event to initialize your program.
|
||||
|
||||
## Example
|
||||
|
||||
In this example, ``on start`` sets a dimmer brightness on the screen and the button handler shows a string.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
||||
basic.showString("Hello!")
|
||||
})
|
||||
led.setBrightness(50)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## What about JavaScript?
|
||||
|
||||
``on-start`` only exists in the block editor. In JavaScript, all code executes sequentially from the first line.
