You're so eager to get to making games and start this course with a small mental exercise I ask you
to get some milk from the store.
Could you do it.
How much would you really have to think about it.
Could you list all the steps you would have to take in order to get the milk so let's try right now.
So first step would be
get dressed if you're not ready.
It's going side
in then get your wallet because we need to pay for the milk.
Next.
Put your shoes on
and then exit your building or house
next walk to the nearest store.
In going to the store
and find the milk
then somehow you need to choose what milk you want whether the 1 percent 2 percent or 1 leader to leader
and then take the milk
to the clerk
so he can pay for it.
Next you have to purchase
the money from your wallet.
And then walk back to your house with no
into your house
and walk to your fridge
and open the fridge.
In heat to find a spot in the fridge that's big enough so you can place the milk there.
In place the milk in that spot
in finally closed fridge
so look the steps that in fact we probably missed a few.
How many of these steps did you think about when they asked you to go get the milk.
Probably not many of these even really crossed your mind that you knew you had to do that.
Well this level of detail we have to have in order to program on the computer.
In fact we need even more detail than this because computers don't understand English or any other spoken
language.
Computers are actually really dumb.
A computer can only do what we tell it to do it only in very certain ways.
We use computers because they're very fast at doing those simple things much faster than we are doing.
We have to talk to computers in small steps that are very precise and in a language it can understand.
This goes against our natural thought process that likes skip steps usually many steps at a time that
seem very obvious to us that this is problematic for a computer because there's you can't skip any steps
at all.
We have to fight that natural inclination and really think in very small and precise steps in the Halling
lessons will start developing this way of thinking.
So we can solve these problems.
