Adinistrative...
Homeworks 8 and 9.
Final Project.
Exam Friday.
Today: user input, while loop, using multiple functions.
User input: requestString and requestInteger. These are used to get a string or integer from the user.
Output: use printNow to make sure printing happens to the command area right away, rather than waiting for the program to finish.
While loop: happens continuously until a certain condition is reached. Like keep walking forward "while you have not yet run into a desk".
Simple example in the Python file: kids keep asking if we are there until we are there.
Example like from the book: exploring ISU building by building using multiple functions.
else: can use else with if statements to do either one thing or another thing.
Next time: debugging fun, more with while loops.
And make sure to take the quiz, and type things into JES to try them out!
