Week 7

Today, I learned how to use a loop. Loops prevent a programmer from having to continuously type the same monotonous  string of code. I learned about 2 types of loops: the while loop and for loop. The "for" loop allows me to easily create a simple loop without having to type as much as I would with the "while" loop, but it can't be used in all loop situations. I didn't do many interesting projects with the loop, so I decided not to post any sort of link to my projects.

Bonus!

I had a little extra time today so I decided to make an extra program:

Week 6

Today, I extended my knowledge of the if statement. I learned how to create code that generated random numbers, and with those numbers I learned how to run a certain line of code that is only ran when a certain number is selected. Using what I learned, I created a digital magic 8 ball. If you would like to view it, click the link below:

Week 5

Today, I learned about operators. Operators allow me to have a specific task perform under multiple conditions. Examples of operators include &, <, <, and !, with the exclamation point meaning not. Using what I learned I created a button that changes color when you press it. Although the button doesn't actually trigger a task when it is pressed (besides changing color) it's still pretty neat:
