Using logic and conditions blocks
The logic and conditions blocks are used to compare variables and values, do calculations with numbers, and work with strings (text).
Logic blocks
Elementari integrates two types:
- AND Gate
- OR Gate
The AND and OR operators are used to combine conditions. They are blocks that implement Boolean functions. In other words, they activate their output depending on which of the inputs (often called A and B) are active, if any.
On Elementari, An input is considered active if it is being sent the value is set to true.
To keep it simple:
- AND gate's output is active when both inputs are active.
- OR gate's output is active when either inputs are active.
Conditions Blocks
A conditional statement, also known as If/Then statement, tells a program to perform different actions depending on whether a condition is True or False. On Elementari, branching conditionals (If/then/else) are white blocks found in the Logic tab. Conditionals include "Branch", "Compare Text", "Compare Numbers", and the condition port.
