Blah blah blah…Let’s look at some code!
function DoSomething() {
var x = 123;
// Let’s say “x” is equal to 123
if (x == 456) {// If x equals 456…
student.ClapHands();
}
else {
student.StompFeet();
}
}

BUT WAIT!!!??!??!
function DoSomething() {
Let’s say “x” is equal to 123
If x equals 456 Then
Students should clap their hands…
Else
Students should stomp their feet…
}
How many TIMES should we clap hands or stomp feet?
When should we stop??

Okay, let’s “mod” this code…
function DoSomething() {
var x = 123;
if (x == 456) {
student.ClapHands(2);
}
else {
student.StompFeet(4);
}
}
