Start early. Learning Objectives: You should… • Understand how to use for loops to avoid replicating code and for iterating over arrays. • Know how to use relational operators to ask questions like greater than/less than/the same about data. • Know how to use if statements to control program flow. Homework Guidelines: 1) Loops: a. You can start by manually writing the first step of the loop, then writing the second step. b. Once those steps work, put the for loop around the line(s) i. How many times should you loop? When should you stop? How do you have to change the line so that it works with the loop variable? c. You can also try downloading example scripts from online, choosing those closest to your desired script and editing them (understand them first). 2) If statements/relationals: a. Write it out in pseudo code first. 3) Indenting: a. Maintain correct indenting at all times – this will help you “see” your code structures and check if your ends are in the right place (see Lab 3 for more detail). b. You can use this green button to do it for you: 4) Debugging: a. Before running your code, put a break point at the first line of every for loop and in every if statement (click on the number on the left). Then you can “watch” to see if a) you go into the if statement when you expect to and b) if you are doing the right thing in your for loop. b. Put your cursor over the variables (eg, k, open etc) to see what values they take on. You can also check what they are by typin [Show More]
