The computer IF/THEN statement. It is part of the BASIC computer language long hand version using some degree of algebra and a knowledge of computer BASIC well, back in the 70's this was being used a lot.
BASIC of course stands for "Beginner's All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code." - source - Wikibooks

I learned about some of this when I was in computer programming. After I made a cool website, I just ended up making pretty pictures with symbols because my teacher didn't teach us anything else haha

@lookatdesktop We didn't even have a book to learn from haha he was just a lazy teacher. I don't think he was supposed to teach that class, but they needed someone to basically babysit us.

@m_audrey6788 , It might. I have tried my hand at reading from a book about cascading style sheets and such but it is a bit deep. Have you read JAVA script for Dummies? It is awesome. If only I had the brains to fully get the most from reading it, but I need to slow down and learn BASIC first. I may not have patience for it though.
