Agenda:
Key Vocabulary:
Application Flow: Sometimes called a flow chart, an application flow is a way of using pictures and arrows to show what will happen in your program and the order things will occur. Mapping the application flow can help you work through the logical steps to make your program run.
Read and Reflect:
You may answer these questions in the comment section below:
1. List other tools or strategies that you have used in other classes to plan projects. How are they similar or different to an application flow?
2. The book recommends coming up with a plan by drawing an application flow and pseudocoding before writing the code. Why does it recommend this strategy? Do you think it will help you? Why or why not?
3. Look back at the example of an application flow on page 78. Find at least one example of a conditional and one example of a loop. How did you identify your examples?
