Symbols:

These are programs that need to be handed in, but are not marked or are just marked for completion (e.g. 5/5 for doing the work).
These are bigger programs/assignments that must be handed in to be marked and are marked more carefully.
These are more difficult programs for enrichment. They only need to be done if you want more than 80% in the course.
Fun extra things to investigate

November 2015 - Daily lessons and assignments
M	T	W	Th	F
2 finish up presentations	3 back to Java ... Eclipse!!	4 Nim.java This is a two player game where the game begins with one pile of 21 stones. Players takes turns. On your turn you can take 1, 2, or 3 stones. You must always take at least one stone. The person who takes the last stone loses. You must work in a group of 2 or 3, because it's important to learn how to program with someone. Do not copy someone else's program or some program from the internet. It is not too hard to find out if you copied. Once you have this done, you can go the next step and make a computer player. This is one program where it is really easy to program an AI (computer player) that can win.	5 work period	6 work period
9 Read over the Modulus notes, and do the three modulus programs listed there. NEXT YEAR, LEAVE MODULUS FOR LATER - it's not that important	10 Random numbers Random programs 1. Simulate a dice roll 100 times. Have the program count the number of 1s,2s,3s,4s,5s,6s. They should be about equal. 2. Roll two dice and total them. Do this 100 times. Track the frequency of results. 7 should be the most common and 2 and 12 the least. **USe arrays for this - it's easier. 3. Make random numbers from 1 to 100. How many random numbers do you need to make until you get two consecutive 67s ? (enrichment!)	11 Remembrance Day work period	12 Methods, arrays	13 teacher away work period Array Programs Also do FIVE CodingBat ARRAYS-1 problems
16 arrays - explanation	17 Assembly Day Schedule work period	18 work period	19 Midterm Marks? Github, Javadoc ...	20 PD Day
23 2D arrays data/graphics, passing data, random squares, Array Graphics 1 Use the DisplayArray class to do the following: 1. Make a 8x8 grid. Each square should have a 50-50 chance of being coloured. 2. Write your first name in the bottom row of squares 3. In the first two cells (topleft) write digits showing how many squares are coloured.	24 Test: Unit 2	25 work period	26 Make something interesting with a 2D array (Game of Life, TicTacToe...)	27 work period Monday: start Strings

 

By the end of Unit 2 [STRUCTURED PROGRAMMING], you need to know

• how to write if statements
• how to use &&, ||, and ! in if statements
• how to write and read nested if statements
• how to use else and else if
• ** extra: writing switch statements to replace a lot of if
• ** extra: usingthe ternary conditonal operator ? :
• how to write while loops
• how to write for loops - that go up by 1 or other numbers
• ** next unit: writing nested for loops to work with 2D arrays
• how break and continue work, when to use them
• how to use modulus (for the three examples mentioned in the modulus notes)
• how to make random integers between 1 and some other number
• how to make random integers between two numbers
