Functions and Parameters through Songwriting

Daily Summary

Sometimes we want to be able to define a small algorithm - just a part of a bigger algorithm - and give it a name.  This allows us to use that small algorithm over and over again simply by calling it by name.  This makes programming a LOT easier.

In today's lessons we focus on the idea of these "functions."

In class materials

I used the following PowerPoint slides in class

• Lesson Slides

I based this lesson on two sets of lesson plans

• Functions
• Songwriting

I will try to record each F2F session so that you can review the material if you were in class, or make up the material if you had to miss class.
