Introduction to solution development using an introductory Graphical Programming tool

Full notes coming soon — here's what the syllabus covers for now:

• Extend the use of variables, logical operators, random numbers and built-in functions
• Boolean logic/operators (and, or, not)
• Conditional constructs (if and if-then-else) including Boolean operators
• Strings
• String operators such as concatenate/combine strings
• String operations such as comparing strings
• Interactive user interface (objects, e.g. animated character, as buttons)
• Iteration constructs (for), pre-conditional and post-conditional (repeat, repeat until and forever)
• Basic validation techniques (input and processing), e.g. test for negative number when calculating square root
• Debugging techniques
• Debugging using the variable watch facility assessment (Poa): reporting 1 test + 1 examination (1 practical paper + 1 theory paper) Add raw marks and totals
