En este laboratorio, tú vas a desarrollar herramientas que ayudarán a resolver una sopa de letras mediante la búsqeuda de palabras que cumplan con ciertas características.
En esta página, tú vas a revisar predicados y construir algunos que podrás utilizar en otros proyectos.
As you know, predicates are reporter blocks (functions) that always report a Boolean value (they report only the values 
or 
). In Snap!, predicates are represented by hexagonal blocks. They compute the condition used by conditionals (such as if, if else, or repeat until) to decide when to do something. Predicates ask a question such as "Is the random number 3?" or "Is this sprite touching the sprite called 'Leader'?"
Every if else block has two scripts inside of it, exactly one of which will be run depending on the value that the predicate reports. Then the computer continues with whatever comes after the if else block.
=, >, <, ≥, ≤as well as a sixth:
≠, which means "not-equal" and reports
false if the two inputs are equal and otherwise reports true (if they are not equal). When you write the 
block, it will work like this:
These six relational operators all report a Boolean value (true or false).
Make the sprite draw only if the mouse button is down, so that you can draw disconnected shapes. You'll need to uncheck the "draggable" box above the scripting area (shown right) before you try this (so that Snap! doesn't think you are trying to drag the sprite when you click).
block, which you can find in the Sensing palette.
Selection means deciding (selecting) which part of an algorithm to run based on whether a condition is true or false.
Every algorithm can be constructed using sequencing (following steps in order), selection (deciding), and iteration (repeating).
