Simified programing notes for Dummies

sleep(x) -- Turtle waits for x seconds
break --should stop the program??

local --not sure. I think it sets a variable status

while true do --program will run as long as condition is met.. true can be a condition like x>16
while not (command) do --will run command, but if unable to will run to do command. Eg while command can run it == true but if unable then command ==false and so the following condition is ran

for i=1,16 do -- runs program 1 thru 16 cycles. 1, 10, 2 will cycle 1-10 but only every +2 cycle so 1 3 5 7 9

if (condition) then --activates if the condition is met
else --if the if condition is not met then do the following instead
elseif -- not sure. May be the same as writing an if condition after an else
break --stios the loop and continues program

repeat --requires further understanding

term.write("Who's that Pokemon?") --asks question and awaits a response
read() --reads response. x = read() will set x to the response

function name(x) --creates a mini program that can just be inserted in other places. Create all functions first. X is a variable that can be changed when using the function eg name(5) will have x=5 inside the function. Knowing as passing a variable
return variable --similar to a break. Stops the function and sends variable info to continue program. Best used in a "while not condition do" loop

--arrays
local pokemon = {"name1", "name2", "name3"}
--creates a list under the program pokemon[]. Eg. pokemon[2] will pull up name2
--for loop + print to generate list
for p=1,3 do
 print (pokemon[p])
end
