Lecture (Sept. 13)

This official lecture on if statements and the like was interesting and entertaining, like the other lectures by Pops so far. He prefaced the lecture with a YouTube clip (this time it was Annoying Orange) and told us to send him links to YouTube videos to begin the classes, which made me happy. I understood a lot of the topics he discussed already; they seemed pretty straightforward to me. The only thing I didn't really get, switches, he told us at the end that we don't even need to know, so that's good. Looking forward to the lecture on loops!

Gems from Pops:
"I had a very bad experience with these operators [++ and --] as a child, so I avoid them."
"You can do it your own way, but you better know what you're doing." Pops on optional curly braces
"He's dead now, by the way...so you can't complain to him..." Pops on Dennis Ritchie, creator of C
