This pupil-friendly study guide includes a unit summary, clear notes, common mistakes, and quick questions with answers.
Unit Summary
In this unit pupils will discover how to write programs that ask questions and use selection to control the outcomes based on the answers given. They will design a quiz in response to a given task and implement it as a program. They will then evaluate their programs against given criteria.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to create a program that uses selection.
Key Notes
- Designs can be used to guide program development
- Conditions should be tested so that the correct outcomes are run
- By testing a program, bugs can be identified and fixed
Vocabulary To Learn
- condition: a statement that can be either True or False
- test: to run a program to check if it works the way that you planned
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- You only need to test your program when you have finished writing it.
