another noob question

could any of you explain what a "conditional statement" is and how can i use it?, the simpler it is the better

Conditional statement is where you code with conditional code, such as IF, FOR, WHILE, etc...
Here's the example :

Code: Select all

int count;
int number;
if(count<100) //if count value is under 100
{
    number+=1; //add number by 1
}

Code: Select all

int loop;
int number;
for(loop=0;loop<100;loop++) //for loop is equal 0 and under 100, add loop by 1
{
    number+=1; //add number by 1 while adding the loop
}

Code: Select all

int loop;
int number;
while(loop<100) //while loop value is under 100
{
    number+=1; //add number by 1
}

3 of those would store the same value, it's number=100

or

Code: Select all

if(jump==1)
{
yvelocity=-8;
jump=0;
}
else
{
yvelocity=2;
}


that code makes the player jump...or dive!
