I don't understand the diagrams. What programming language is this, where the comparison part of the statements are hidden? e.g.
if (Huh?) {

}

How do you know what is "Huh?"

or, is it comparing against the last value that gets "set"?

e.g.
"1"
if (2)

is actually
x = "1"
if (x === 2) {}

Got 100%. I'm a good programmer Smiley  But a poor and unemployed programmer. Because I think programming is a skillset better suited as a hobby than as a serious way to make money, alas  :sigh:

Indeed!
But you can do better...

if (??) {

}

How do you know what is "??"

or, is it comparing against the last value that gets "set"?

e.g.
"1"
if (2)

is actually
x = "1"
if (x === 2) {}

The numbers are placeholders for logic that's abstracted away, so it's more like

some_statements_1()()
if (some_boolean_function_2()) {
}


Accordingly, 1 and 2 in the diagrams will represent some_statements_1 and some_boolean_function_2 respectively.
