Student Profile
"A pilot doesn't just 'land.' They follow a checklist: IF the altitude is correct, AND the gear is down, AND the runway is clear, THEN they land. If even one 'IF' is missing, the result is a disaster."
Sanity Check

The Concept: Comparison & Logic

In Chapter 2, we explore how C# uses Operators to compare values. As an AI Pilot, you must ensure the AI is using the correct "Checklist" before performing a game action.

== Is Equal To
&& AND (Both True)
|| OR (Either True)

The AI Trap: "The Impossible Purchase"

You give an AI a vague instruction like "Write a function to let the player buy an upgrade that costs 50 coins." 

// Vague Prompt Result: Fails the Sanity Check
void BuyUpgrade() {
    coinCount -= 50; 
    Debug.Log("Upgrade Purchased!");
}

Reasoning: Without a check, a player with 10 coins ends up with -40. You've allowed the calculator to give an "impossible" answer.
