7wb2 Algorithms 4 - Pseudocode and Logo

Pseudocode and Logo

LO - Apply sequencing techniques using pseudocode and interactive resource

Outcomes - We will know you've achieved this LO if you can write basic code to give instructions.


STARTER: Answer my question in your homework booklet. Do you now understand what a flowchart looks like and how you've been able to apply your knowledge to online programming.


Main 1 - Lightbot - The Sequel

1. Open up your Unit 1 Evidence Document and LIGHTBOT. Spend 5 minute on lighbot.
2. Take a screen shot of where you got to. It's not a competition!
3. Paste it in your Evidence Document and write about what it shows!

Main 2 - Logo - Psuedocode

http://www.j2e.com/logo.html - Your challenge. Draw a square!
Level 1 gives you symbols, Level 2 allows you to write some basic code ...
What instructions would you give, as an algorithm to draw your square?
How could you make your instructions more efficient?

Challenge - using the function that we've just discovered. Could you draw a hexagon, circle or any other shape?

How could you represent this as pseudocode using the following commands?
