Programming
Logo
Here's what I learned to do today in Logo:
Loops
Loops are very useful if you have to do something
over and over.
Variables
I used variables when I wanted to change the value
of a number like "sidelength".
Conditionals
Conditionals are "IF" statements. I used them when
I wanted a ball to bounce if it hit the edge of
the screen.
Functions
Functions organize your code, like this star function:
Then I made a spiral function that used the star function:
Here's a fractal I made using recursion:
Math Functions
On Thursday I learned to put my math functions into Logo:
In the Command Center I made the computer crunch the
numbers:
Python
On Wednesday of week 2 we finally got to program in Python! We were
doing stuff with binary numbers so we wrote a Python program to
convert binary numbers to decimals (we didn't finish the decimal
to binary converter). Here's the code:
It took a lot of coding and I got a lot of errors, but it finally
converted some really big numbers from binary to decimal:
Numerical Integration
Today we used Python to find the area under a function by splitting
it up into rectangles. Here's the code:
