Jeroo TEST : 5th/8th (Moved due to Geometry regents)

How to do common “stuff” Download Jeroo (either in Courses Drive or online here) How to make a Jeroo Jeroo Methods How to make a Custom Method How to write a while loop While loops vs if tests The .give() method Best Practices for writing while loops in Jeroo (python) Assignments Goal: How do we use the Jeroo API? Spell a Letter Beautify the Island Walk the Lake Scavenger Hunt and Relay race Cross The Bridge The Betrothal Learning Goal: How do custom methods improve code ? Custom Methods All of these require using custom methods Cross the Bridge (revisited) Custom Method #2 Assign Learning Goal: How do we write while loops? While Loops (all of the following maps require that you use a while loop whenever it is most efficient Cross the Bridge with a while loop While Loops assignments #1  While Loop #2 While Loops assignments #3

Learning Goal: What is the difference between an if and while ?

• While loops with if test * 
• While with if, elif, else *

Learning Goal: How do we write efficient code using while loops?

• Traverse the Rim (rectangular lakes)  
• Hurdles * 
• Two Friends Meet   (only 1 map)
  
• Climb The Stairs  
• Systematically Visit All Cells
• Mazes 1
• Spell Z using a loop
• Mazes 2 Skip any 3. Any you don’t have to do the extra credit map. So that’s a total of 4 maps that don’t need to be done.
• Jeroo Donkey Kong (download word files that explain assignment as well as the associated maps, created by Louis Fleming) extra credit
