Below is a segment of code from a video game:
 
Let **x** = player's roll,

Let **y** = opponent's roll
 
**If x>2y**,

          **Then** player moves forward 2xspaces;

**Else If** x>y,

          **Then** player moves forward xspaces;

**Else** player does not move.
 
What is the result if the player rolls **4** and the opponent rolls **6**?

Let's break down the conditions in the given code to determine what happens when the player rolls **4** and the opponent rolls **6**.

### Step-by-step:
1. **x = 4** (player's roll)
2. **y = 6** (opponent's roll)

We will check each condition:

- **First Condition: x > 2y**
  
  Substituting the values:
  
  \[
  4 > 2(6)
  \]

  \[
  4 > 12
  \]
  
  This condition is **false**.

- **Second Condition: x > y**
  
  Substituting the values:
  
  \[
  4 > 6
  \]
  
  This condition is also **false**.

- **Else** (if neither condition is satisfied), the player does not move.

### Conclusion:
Since both conditions are false, the player does not move.

Would you like further clarification or details? Here are five related questions:

1. How would the result change if the player rolled a higher value than the opponent?
2. What if the opponent rolled a number smaller than the player’s roll?
3. How would the result change if both rolls were equal?
4. Can you add another rule that would make the player move backward under certain conditions?
5. How would this code behave if the player's roll was a negative number?

**Tip**: When interpreting if-else conditions, always evaluate them in order, since the first true condition will execute, and no further checks will be made.
