LC: To design algorithms that use repetition.
What does coding mean?
Coding is translating logical algorithms into a language that a computer will understand.
These algorithms are written in a text file which is then compiled into a computer program.
Complied is another way of saying translated.
A microprocessor within a device will then process and carry out these compiled instructions.
A microprocessor understands the coding and tells a computer what the instructions are and what to do.
Most programming languages are text-based, but there are also a large number that are visual-based.
Visual-based programming languages use graphics or blocks to create algorithms.
Scratch is a visual-based programming language.
Text-based programming languages use lines of text which are typed by programmers to create an algorithm.
Python, JavaScript and HTML are text-based programming languages.
Your task today is create algorithms that use repetition in scratch.
When you have created your algorithm and tested it works, screenshot your scratch program and upload your image into schoolwork.
