What's Going On? April 12th through April 16th

 Thought for the Week

AP Computer Science A

We will start off this week by talking about two different searching algorithms: linear search and binary search.  We will also talk about the efficiency of algorithms in terms of "Big Oh" notation.  The rest of the week will be devoted to some programming assignments where students can put into practice everything that we have learned over the course of the unit, including recursion, sorting, and searching.

App Development 2

This week, students will investigate 'guard' statements, a way to prevent an app from crashing when we receive unexpected data.  We will then transition into learning about 'modal segues', or a view controller that briefly appears on top of another controller.  We will end the week with the modal segues code challenge.

Programming the Web 2

This week, we will continue our study of JavaScript.  We will start off the week by reviewing arrays and conditionals.  We will then move into our study of looping structures (how to repeat a section of code).  We will finish the week by discussing functions.
