Can you believe you’ve made it to week four? This is a gigantic effort! While it’s true that #EveryoneCanCode, it’s not easy. It requires practice and a lot of patience.
We’re back today for the live coding session on Twitch at 1pm Irish time.
And if you feel like you’re a little behind, need to catch up, or just want to re-watch a session, you can always use the kids.code() playlist.
Recap
Last week we discussed two heavy topics: Types (and Initialization) and Functions with Parameters.
The syntax that we’ve learned so far gets a little funkier when we add these things into the mix.
Our homework over the weekend was to figure out a better way… or maybe just a different way, to write the function in the screenshot above.
Did you manage to come up with something better?
What’s Up This Week
We’re going to keep going with Functions with Parameters this week. Over the Easter weekend (which is still on here in Ireland with Easter Monday) we threw together a little addition to our Holiday Turtle Graphics playground.
In the new chapter, following our usual Christmas one, we’ve added two new egg-decorating pages. This chapter uses the more involved Turtle Graphics functions, so it shows off both instances of a type and a function with a parameter.
It’s available from The Code Hub’s playground feed, and will show up automatically in Playgrounds if you’ve already subscribed to the feed.
Later…
Later in the week we’ll move on to Logical Operators, which sounds like a particularly geeky band. They’ll really make our earlier lessons with conditional coding start to sing.
We hope to see you with us today at 1pm!
