conditionals and logic

ok since i am a rookie feel free to correct me

but lets take the robot idea

you have a set of commands for him

if you tell him anything else he does his "do the locomotion dance"

(this of course would be the else option)

say you have options 1-4

you say option 1

he follows you and has a light that fill the area right in front of you

you say option 2

he follows behind you and plays your theme song

(bright side of life from monty pithons life of brian)

you say option 3

he writes down everything you say into a file that can be uploaded to your computer using his usb port

you say option 4

he he turns goes to his power base and powers up

now these all have their issues but lets start when you say option 5 because he doesn't have anything programmed into this variable option (case) case 5 is not defined well this is like a definite loop it would cause an error so we use the else case

input user (voice recognition command+case_num) ( for (case_num);

(
 if case 1
  then
   do lighting routine
 if case 2 
  then 
   play <theme_song_user>
 if case 3
  then 
   run note taking program
 if case 4
  then move home 
   connect to power 
   enter sleep mode
 else 
  do
   <do the locomotion routine>
)

) return 0;

___________________________________________________ now scrappy has a definite action to take for any "case" command given to him

assuming his "do the locomotion routine" has a do until condition

and scrappy has voice recognition where he has specific values recorded for those allowed
