Unit #6-02

Learning Outcome

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

• understand and pass an array (or list in python) as a parameter to a function

Review

• passing parameters

Lesson

• go over  Arrays as Parameters , Computer Based Problem Solving

Activity

• nil

Daily Assignment

• create a program that has a function that will accept an array

  • once again you can just randomly generate 10 numbers

  • the function MUST use a while loop

    • it will find the largest value in the array and pass it back as a single variable

    • the function CAN NOT hard code how many elements are in the array

• you MUST use a loop, you can not use a built-in "max()" function!

• your Test Cases will not be normal, you are generating random numbers so you do not know them in advance

  • just have 1 test case explain how you are going to check to ensure the result is correct

  • then under each of the 3 screenshots of the program running, do the calculation to prove it is correct

• read  over  over  Arrays as Parameters , Computer Based Problem Solving

Extra

• recreate the same above program in a second language
