Lesson 16
Continuation of Programming
Welcome
In this final lesson on programming the ClassPad we will learn another print command, how to create loops and also how to find programs and MCS data in general in the Exchange Window. By the end of this lesson, you will have enough knowledge to continue the exploration of programming on your own.
Lesson Goals
- To understand the active image
- To understand how to use a For/Next Loop
- To find the distance between two points
- To understand what a program parameter is
In Lesson 16 you will learn how to:
- Create a new vcp file
- Write a program to display formulas in 2-D form
- Use the For/Next loop
- Find the midpoint between a midpoint and endpoint of a segment
- Use parameters in a program
- Run programs from within Main and eActivity
Upon completion of this lesson you will be able to answer the following questions:
- How do you step backwards in a For Next loop?
- Describe two ways to identify which vcp file is active.
- What command do you use to display math in a natural format?
- Without running this program, what will be the program’s output? Hint: Use pencil and paper.

Time Required
About 60 minutes.
