5. Job Matters
The Zoom Room link for each lab is given here: 11 am, 12pm, 1pm
This lab is about storing data into variables when on one screen, and retrieving the information from the variables from another screen.
Prelab:
See this 3'30'' video for a description of what the completed app looks like when run, along with an overview of the code you need to add.
Lab:
Your TA will assign you a lab partner. With your partner complete the Job Matters app where you need to add code to use variables to store your answers, which are displayed on the final summary screen. One of you should share your screen and do the coding, while your partner gives advice and/or follows along on their own.
The app you've been given has the four screens shown below. On each of the first three screens you need to use variables to store the user's choices. All three choices are then displayed on the last (fourth) screen.
Intro and first question with response in a text box
Second question with response selected from drop-down list
Third question with response indicated by selecting a radio button
Selected responses are all displayed on the last summary slide.
Use this App Lab starting app and make your own version of it by: 1. Selecting the Remix button near the top-left, then 2. Choosing Rename, and lastly 3. Providing a meaningful name that you will remember. These three steps are shown in the images below:
Once you've created your own version by remixing the starting code, switch to Code mode and do the following:
Add yours and your partner's names in the comment at the top of the code
Find all the places in the code where there is a comment along with three asterisks like this: // ***
The line after is where you need to add one or more lines of code.Extra credit: You may want to look at documentation, since you will have to figure out how to manipulate radioButtons and sliders by exploring the App Lab documentation and tutorials.
