A guessing game stores a secret and a guess, compares them with if, and loops.
A guessing game stores a secret and a guess, and compares them with if.
If the guess is less than the secret, the game says too low. Else if it is more, too high. Else, you win.
One equals sign stores a value in a name. Two equals signs check whether two things match.
A loop wraps around the check and repeats until the guess equals the secret.
These are some of the questions on the sets. The printable sheets have more and an answer key.
Too low. Five is less than seven.
Too high. Eight is more than seven.
You win. Seven equals seven.
==. Two equals signs check. One stores.
A loop. A loop repeats the check.
Ask a grown-up to think of a secret number from one to ten and keep it secret. You guess, and they tell you too low, too high, or you win. Count your guesses, and try to win in fewer next time.
Play it unplugged first: pick a secret from one to ten, and say too low, too high or you win. Then ask your child to explain which line of the plan each reply came from.
