Answer the questions while completing the tutorial. Pay attention to the dialogues! ## 1. Define what an 'if statement' is. <br /> An if statement will conditionally run code depending on whether or not a condition is true. ## 2. Create a Variable called ``x`` and assign it to a random number between 0 and 2. ```blocks let x = Math.random(3) ``` ## 3. Write the 'if statement' to check if ``x`` is equal to 2. Inside the 'if statement', display the string "Yes". ```blocks let x = Math.random(3) if (x == 2) { basic.showString("Yes", 150) } ``` ## 4. Write the 'if statement' to check if ``x`` is equal to 1. Inside the 'if statement', display the string "No." ```blocks let x = Math.random(3) if (x == 2) { basic.showString("Yes", 150) } else if (x == 1) { basic.showString("No", 150) } ``` ## 5. Write the code to display the string "I don't know" if the Variable ``x`` is neither 2 nor 1. ```blocks let x = Math.random(3) if (x == 2) { basic.showString("Yes", 150) } else if (x == 1) { basic.showString("No", 150) } else { basic.showString("I don't know", 150) } ``` Note: Students are only required to write the bottom half of this answer (starting with "else").
