2012 Spring Version


Appendix F was removed because it's not accessible, and I don't really have the ability to edit it so that it is accessible

Parson's Problems (Intro to the format):

  1. Getting used to a "Parsons's Problem"
  2. Parson's Problem: Rearranging stuff on just part of the page

While Loops:

  1. Parson's Problem: Running The Robot To A Wall
  2. Parson's Problem: Turning the robot north
  3. Parson's Problem: picking up all the Things

For Loops:

  1. Parsons_For_Loops.html
  2. Parsons_Multiple_For_Loops.html
  3. Parsons/For_Loops/Parsons_For_Loops_In_Commands.html  - Not complete (there's no way to do Parsons for separate chunks of the program)(moving the class below main() causes JS problems :(  )

 

Counting Loops:

  1. Parson's Problem: Moving multiple times - NOT WORKING

Input and Output:

  1. Parsons/Input_AND_Output/IO_01_Read_A_Number.html
  2. Parsons/Input_AND_Output/IO_02_Type_Two_Numbers.html
  3. Parsons/Input_AND_Output/IO_03_Move_Or_Turn_Numbers.html

Input and Output: Print a menu, get the user's choice
