In this level you can repeat multiple lines of code with only 1 repeat command. You do this by making a block of lines that you want to repeat. The lines in this block will need indentation . That means putting four spaces at the beginning of each line. You will also have to indent when you want to create a block of just one line.

repeat 5 times
    print 'Hello everyone'
    print 'This is all repeated 5 times'

In the next example you can have your fortune teller ask multiple questions and also print them!

Exercise

Can you fill in right command on the blanks?

print 'I am Hedy the fortune teller!'
print 'You can ask me 3 questions.'
answers = yes, no, maybe
_ _ _
   question = ask 'What do you want to know?'
   print question
   sleep
   print 'My crystal ball says... ' answers at random

In the block or not?

In this level you have to think carefully which lines of code should be in the block and which shouldn't. For example: If you want to sing the song the muffin man. You only want the line with 'the muffin man' to be repeated twice. This means the last line shouldn't start with indentation as it doesn't belong to the block. If you do start the last line with indentation the song will turn out wrong.

Exercise

Each line in the example code starts with a blank. Remove the blanks and try to figure out which line need indentation and which don't to make the muffin man song.

_ print 'Do you know the muffin man?'
_ repeat 2 times
_ print 'The muffin man'
_ print 'Do you know the muffin man, who lives on Drury Lane?'

In a previous level you've programmed the song 'Bottles of beer'. But without the repeat command, you had to copy the verses many times. In this level you can repeat the song 99 times, just by adding one simple line!

Exercise

Add the right command on the blanks and indent the code correctly.

verse = 99
_ 99 times
print verse ' bottles of beer on the wall'
print verse ' bottles of beer'
print 'Take one down, pass it around'
verse = verse - 1
print verse ' bottles of beer on the wall'

Now that we can use the repeat command for multiple lines, we can make songs even more easily!

Exercise

Finish the song of Brother John (Frère Jacques). Don't forget to use repeat!

print 'Brother John'
repeat 2 times
    play C
    play D
    play E
    play C
repeat 2 times
    play E
    play F
    play G
    sleep 1

If... Else...

You have learned to repeat a block of lines of code after a repeat command. Now you can also use indentation to make blocks after a if or else command. Check out the example code.

Exercise

Add an else command to the example code. Make a block of line using indentation. You do this by starting each line with 4 spaces.

name = ask 'What is your name?'
if name is Hedy
    print 'Welcome Hedy'
    print 'You can play on your computer!'

In this level you can use multiple lines in your if commands, this way you can upgrade your happy or sad ending!

Exercise 1

The example code shows two different endings; one where the characters jump in a time machine and one where they do not. Complete the blanks with at least one sentence per ending. Extra Make the story longer. What happens in the story? You can also add a second ask with different options.

Exercise 2

Go back to your saved programs, choose your story program from level 5. Now write a good and a bad ending of at least three lines long each!

print 'OH NO! The T-rex is closing in!'
end = ask 'Do you want a happy or a sad ending?'
if end is happy
    print 'Just in time Richard jumps back into the time machine!'
    print _
else
    print 'Oh no! Richard is too slow...'
    print _

In this level you can make your virtual restaurant more elaborate by repeating multiple lines of code. Like this:

Exercise

This code can be expanded with more items on the menu, for example offering drinks, and/or multiple courses or desserts. Add at least one more item. Extra Add even more items, as many options as you like!

print 'Welcome to Restaurant Chez Hedy!'
people = ask 'How many people will be joining us today?'
print 'Great!'
repeat people times
    food = ask 'What would you like to order?'
    print food
print 'Thank you for ordering!'
print 'Enjoy your meal!'

Now that we can repeat several lines, we can make figures more easily. We only have to set the angle once and then use that variable in the repeat.

Exercise 1

The example code creates a square. Change the code so that it create another figure, such as a triangle or a hexagon. This requires a change to two lines of code. Tip: An entire circle is 360 degrees.

Exercise 2

Now create a drawing consisting of at least two polygons.

angle = 90
repeat 4 times
    turn angle
    forward 50

Extra We can now improve the program that draws different figures. Finish the code and you can draw any polygon you'd like!

figure = ask 'How many angles should I draw?'
angle = 360 / figure
repeat figure times
    turn _
    forward _

Exercise

Debug this code. Good luck!

Warning! This code needs to be debugged!

answer = 'Welcome to our pizza shop. Would you like to order?'
if answer
amount 'How many pizzas would you like to buy?'
else
print "You're buying one anyways!"
amount = 1
'We have Margherita and Pepperoni pizzas.'
repeat amount
chosen_pizza = ask 'What kind of pizza would you like?'
print 'One ' chosen_pizza '.'
price = amount * 10
That will be ' price ' dollars please.'
