How to control lists with logic and dispatch in Grasshopper

“

- [Narrator] In this video, we'll look at using conditional statement output along with the dispatch component, to control data flow in a Grasshopper definition. In addition to mathematical functions, Grasshopper can also evaluate conditional statements. These can be thought of simply as yes or no questions. For example, is the temperature below freezing. You might be familiar with the concept of if-then-else statements. Conditionals are the backbone of this type of logic. For example, if the temperature's below freezing then put on a coat or else stay inside. Let's take a look at a simple conditional statement in Grasshopper, that measures the value of a number slider. So in our example file, we're using the Evaluate component and we've attached an expression of x>5. We're feeding that with a floating point number slider into the x input of evaluate. And rather than making a numerical output this conditional expression…
