Learning Outcome

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

• create an application that uses functions

Silent Watching

• watch this video
• then this video

Review

• review procedures

Lesson

• go over "Functions", Chapter 3
  • Computer Based Problem Solving

Activity

• read the following problem:
  • A board foot is defined as a piece of wood that is 12 inches wide by 12 inches long by 1 inch thick or 144 inches³
  • Create a function called BoardFoot, that has 2 parameters, the length and the width.
  • It will then calculate the height, so that the result is exactly 1 board foot and return that value.

Daily Assignment

• post the solution and then the final program on your website
  1. top-down design
  2. flow-chart
  3. pseudo-code
  4. at least three (3) test cases calculated out using some other method then your program (ensure you show how you calculated each one of them out!)
  5. actual code
  6. three screen shots of program working (with actual values from your test cases above)
  7. zipped up solution file
• once your first 2 steps are done, code the next 3
  • post all items to your website

Extra

• do the above but overloaded the function so you can enter any 2 parameters and it will calculate the third
