Day 3 : Programming for Kids : Functions and Control Structures
Day 3: Understanding Functions and Control Structures
Learning Material:
- Video: Watch a short video on the concept of functions and control structures in programming. Here is an example video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW8c7vT6Hl4
- Article: Read an article that explains functions and control structures in more detail. Here is an example article: https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_functions.asp
- Interactive Tutorial: Complete an interactive tutorial that teaches you how to use functions and control structures in Python. Here is an example tutorial: https://www.learnpython.org/en/Functions
Exercise:
- Write a function that takes two numbers as input and returns their sum. Call the function with different values to test it.
- Write a function that takes a list of numbers as input and returns the sum of all the numbers in the list. Call the function with different lists to test it.
- Write a program that uses a for loop to iterate through a list of numbers and prints out only the even numbers.
- Write a program that uses a while loop to prompt the user to enter a number until the number entered is greater than 10. Print out the number entered by the user.
These exercises are designed to help the student practice writing functions and control structures in Python, and reinforce the concepts learned in the learning material. As with Day 1 and Day 2, the exercises should be challenging but not overwhelming, and provide the student with the opportunity to practice writing code on their own.
