Learning Outcome

At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

• understand the difference between equals and assignment statements

Review

• review doing basic mathematical operations in code
• review stepping through code

Lesson

• go over Steps in Problem Solving, Chapter 2
  • Computer Based Problem Solving
  • up to and including "Folding Paper" example

Activity

• do "Folding Paper" experiment
• go over "Steps in Problem Solving", Chapter 2
  • Computer Based Problem Solving

Daily Assignment

• yesterday we did the math, today we will assign a string literal to a label
  • the symbol "=" DOES NOT mean "equal" it means "is assigned"
  • this is the "equal" symbol "==" in Python (and other programming languages, but not VB!)
  • the best way to read code in computer science is backwards (right to left)!
• create the School Mascot program
  • The task in the School Mascot program is to have three buttons (one with each of the school names) which when clicked, display the school name and the school mascot name. This is very similar to the Hello World International program that you have already done only this time the text should be displayed on the frame and not in the console.

Extra

• In Python, print out the 2 lines for each of the 3 schools
• do "Salmon Swim" problem, Chapter 2
  • Computer Based Problem Solving
