Welcome to the Homework Help community on Lemmy.World!

The objective of this community is to connect those who need help with their school work with those who can assist with answers. Ask for help with your homework here.

Before asking:

Your post title should be formatted to include your level/grade, subject, topic of study, and a specific question. For example:

[Grade 8 Math: Quadratic Equations] How to factorise ax^2^ + bx + c?

[University Chemistry: Titration] What is my qs?

[AS Level English: Essay Writing] Should all adverts be factual?

Include any instructor prompts in the body of your post. What does your instructor want you to accomplish?
You must attempt to answer the question asked on your own before asking for help. Include your attempts in the body of the post and/or as an image. We will not do your homework for you.
When your question has been answered, please edit the post's title to include "[Solved]". Make sure you have and understand the answer you need before you mark your question solved.

Before answering:

You are expected to read the entire question asked, including any supporting information provided by the student and/or instructor, before attempting to answer the question.
Top-level comments should be on-topic. Banter, light-hearted humor are good and welcome, but the focus here is education, not entertainment.
The downvote button is not an "I disagree" button. The downvote button is for "This comment does not contribute to the discussion." It is entirely possible to disagree with a comment that contributes to the discussion. This is especially important to keep in mind when students make mistakes in their replies.

Bannable offenses:

We will not facilitate cheating, plagiarism or otherwise violate academic integrity.
Do not solicit paid service, either as a buyer or a seller of said service.
No advertising of any kind. No spam.
Don't be an asshole: No bigotry of any kind, no personal attacks, be reasonable, and remember the human on the other side of the screen.

"If, Then, Goto" Statements in Geometry? (lemmy.world)

I'm not looking for answers. Just directions on what keywords for lectures on the topic. I can find CS stuff when looking, but that feels too esoteric for high school geometry?

X and Y are not geometry in this instance. They are variables.

As an example if X is 5 and Y is 10, when reading line 30 the code will be False and the program will do the next step of running line 40. Now, as X (5) is less than Y (10) the statement is True and the THAN operation is executed, which will skip straight to line 70. Finally in the console of this script/app the program will write out the variables of X and Y then finally it will close.

Since the exercise doesn't explain it very well, maybe should also note that in:

10 INPUT X
20 INPUT Y
...

The "10" and "20" etc. are just the line numbers. The lines are numbered in steps of 10 for historic reasons. So, the actual content of the line is just INPUT X and INPUT Y etc..
