Programming Challenges:

In this unit, students complete programming challenges that build toward the Enduring Understandings of

• MOD-2: Programmers use code to represent a physical object or nonphysical concept, real or imagined, by defining a class based on the attributes and/or behaviors of the object or concept. 

• MOD-3: When multiple classes contain common attributes and behaviors, programmers create a new class containing the shared attributes and behaviors forming a hierarchy. Modifications made at the highest level of the hierarchy apply to the subclasses. 

• VAR-1: To find specific solutions to generalizable problems, programmers include variables in their code so that the same algorithm runs using different input values. 

• IOC-1: While programs are typically designed to achieve a specific purpose, they may have unintended consequences. 

The challenges include:

• Riddle Class

• Student Class

• Comments and Conditions

• Class Pet

• Class Pet Setters

• Song with Parameters

• Static Song and Counter

• Debugging

• Bank Account

The programming challenges are opportunities for students to .... Learning Objectives: MOD-2.A - MOD-2.H, MOD-3.A, VAR-1.G -VAR-1.H, and IOC-1.A.
