(February 10, 2011 ) APCS Class

Hello, APCS Students. Today we have recieved the Books for REACH, make sure you take them with you Saturday morning. Today's lesson (do now) we briefly and smoothly went over using loops to edit our (tic-tac-toe program). We found out which loop is better to use when you know how many times(the program) will go over the loop = for loops. For loops that can have an unknown amount = while loop. We also continued working with Arrays to expand our knowledge on creating Boards. In the upcoming monday we need to do and finish a code (Hunt the Cowpie , Yuck! ) this game will set random points on where the CowPie(or as we would like to call it . Cow Dong) is located. It'll have the user input a set of points being Rows and Columns and ask for guesses. The assignment to me is understandable. Since the code will be nearly done for us, and work in class together we will just have to add a few methods and functions (this is where the Challenge comes). EVERYONE should start fiddling around and add on to the code.

Important Notice from Mr. Jacoby, Change of plans : we will be working on the code Monday!!!

Read Chapters 1 and 6 in our new Barron's review guides.

Both chapters: Complete all ODD problems the end-of-chapter multiple choice review section.

Don't forget: REACH Saturday morning @ Baruch College, 8:30 am!!
