Week 2 - Synopsis

Week 2 -  Branching

Welcome to the second week of your journey to becoming an excellent programmer. By the end of next week's module we'll be able to get the computer to do anything a Turing Machine can do. That means, that after this week, you can get your program to accomplish anything that any program can do. We'll learn in the modules to come ways to make it a lot easier, though! 

Keep in Mind

• What's a program that gets an integer from the user and prints out if it is odd or even?
• Can you turn a flow chart into a Python program? A Python program into a flow chart?
• What is a code pattern for locating a value's row in a chart of ranges?
• What's a program that asks the user for a number between 1 and 10 and repeatedly asks them until they comply with a valid number?

Keep up to date by staying connected!

• Online office hours on Slack (Links to an external site.) (see instructor page for hours)
• Use Slack anytime to chat with your classmates and to ask questions
