AP CompSci A 2018-2019: Conditional Statements (November)

AP CompSci A 2018-2019:
Conditional Statements
(November)

LAB05 ScreenCasts



LAB05 was all about Conditional Statements: if, then and else! We also talked about boolean expressions and predicate methods. Boolean expressions evaluate to true or false. We use these expressions in the if clause to ask a question during execution of a program. Predicate methods are accessors which return a boolean result. Also, predicate methods can usually be written very elegantly without resorting to long winded if then else or else if clauses!

BTW, we're loving our new cs50.io, aka c9.io, ide from the Amazon Cloud (AWS)! Don't forget about the Processing IDE! We just started using OpenProcessing online as they've just added Processing.js which is more compatible with Processing's IDE. The default mode is P5.js (javascript) but we switch to Processing.js (java) and all is well! So, we're computing in the cloud even when we use Processing! IDK, is OpenProcessing is on AWS or the Google Compute Platform (GCP)?
