About Calculator Apps projectThis is a customized snack course for teachers and students of elementary

and secondary schools worldwide, as part of the sustainable development project for quality education via global goals; for those who are new to computer programming and would love to have a starter pack to inspire them. Also, teachers who find it difficult to introduce computer programming in their classrooms, especially to ages 8 and 15 students will find it helpful to use, as a Kickstarter into explaining the rudiments of coding to these categories of young children.Small Basic is the sample programming language throughout this course due to it’s simplicity. It would be very difficult to introduce majority of young students into computer programming no matter how easy it is, without first creating a background check on Algorithms and how our day to day living depends on them. At interval you will meet my sidekick on Small Basic, his name is Wazobi, a stick figure that will take you through the course via animated videos.

language .

Minutes: 30-45

Overview/Purpose: To enable learners understand Algorithms and how we create them on daily basis.

AlgorithmHumans work with algorithms everyday unconsciously. This is how we live and this is also how things get done from your to-do list to your shopping lists. The algorithm of an average student’s life is as simple as:

This can be expanded into details by breaking down each step further into mini algorithms like a table of contents.

An Algorithm is simply a list of processes to complete a specific task or event.Algorithms help us understand how to write codes for the computer.

Step 1: HomeStep 2: SchoolStep 3: Home

Step 1: HomeStep 1.1 Brush(Teeth)Step 1.2 Bath

Step 2: SchoolStep 3: Home

Logical AlgorithmsWe have several logical or conditional ways of creating algorithms by using IF, GOTO and ENDIF and ELSIF commands. These are also Small Basic commands. Lets change your normal student routine, to a situation that happens when you fall sick on a school day.

You find that our normal TASKS will change when there is a new EVENT. Step 1: HomeStep 2: IF sickStep 3: GOTO hospitalStep 4: ELSEIF treatedStep 5: GOTO SchoolStep 6: ENDIF Home

Step 1: HomeStep 2: SchoolStep 3: Home

Algorithm example 1

An Algorithm is like a cookbook you can not eat the menu on paper after shopping for items. The foodstuffs has to cooked according to the process in the menu.If your tummy was a computer, it wouldn’t know how to digest raw foods; the cookbook is the algorithm, the chef is the programmer, while cooking the foodstuffs is the programming language. When you eat raw food you can become sick or get nauseated, because your tummy might be rejecting the raw form of the food. A computer programming language will reject an algorithm, if it doesn’t understand the form the algorithm was typed.

Algorithm example 2

You understand only English Language and you are given an essay to read in Chinese; you will need to ask someone that understands Chinese and English languages to translate it for you. The person who translates would write an short note (algorithm) on the meaning of each Chinese word or sentences in English, before typing as the essay for you. Humans can only teach computers in special languages called programming languages or codes. Algorithms helps us understand how computers work and they are the best way to explain our commands to computers. Algorithms are written step-by-step and computer programming languages obey commands (codes) one step at a time.

Algorithm and Math

The basic mathematical symbols/operators :1. Addition (on keyboard “+”)2. Subtraction (on keyboard “-”)3. Division (on keyboard “/”4. Multiplication (on keyboard “*”)In computer programming, humans are the teachers, while computers are the learners.Computers are blind, deaf, dumb, and they are still growing; your job as a programmer is to teach computers to see, hear, talk and solve problems faster, so you have more time to play.When writing an Algorithm for a computer code, you are going to use a mouse and keyboard, your algorithm will have similarities with keys on the keyboard. By teaching a computer to solve a problem, it will never forget it. This will give you time to focus on teaching the computer more algorithms.

Algorithm and math exercises.

If you had a job that pays you $1000 monthly to add two numbers each minute everyday. Would it not be smart to let your computer do the math?

This is a simple exercise in numeracy (2 + 3 = 5).We can use images to represent the numbers Now solve this: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 + 2,000,000,000 = ?

Both exercises are still the addition of two numbers but the second exercise will take you more time to figure out and pronounce. But it will take a computer the same time (less than 0.1 sec) to calculate both math exercises with an algorithm that can be changed into a Small Basic code.

Algorithm and math exercises contd.

Algorithm solution: (2 + 3 = 5). The plus and equal (+, =) signs are the only stable (constants) items in the math exercise, the rest are unstable “2,3,5” (variables/changing).We need to create a formula to keep adding two numbers, and formulas are created using the ALPHABET, but NUMBERS are used to test if the formulas can calculate.

With this algorithm we can use any computer programming language to write a code to add up two numbers, even if the numbers are in trillions.

the formula now has to come before the answer, so we swop the Steps 3 to Step 4, to make the algorithm calculate properly.

Step 1: The first number is 2, we can call it alphabet AStep 2: The second number is 3, we can call it XStep 3: The third number is the answer 5, we can call it ZStep 4: The formula looks like this (A+X=Z)

Step 3: A+X = Z Step 4: Z = 16

Step 1: First alphabet A = 11Step 2: Second alphabet X = 5

Algorithm and math exercises contd.

By changing the mathematical sign we can write an algorithm to subtract or multiply or divide any two numbers; which looks like this:

With just one algorithm we have four more algorithms that can be made into simple calculator apps, using Small Basic programming language. An algorithm also helps us control how an app should work. Robots, the internet, software, apps all work with specific algorithms. We will learn how to convert our algorithms into Small Basic codes for the computer to learn how to make use of it.

Step 1: The first number is 2, we can call it alphabet AStep 2: The second number is 3, we can call it XStep 3: The third number is the answer 5, we can call it ZStep 4: The formula looks like this (A+X=Z) or (A-X=Z) or (A/X=Z) or (A*X=Z)

Algorithm for shapes

The algorithm for finding the area of a square:

The algorithm for finding the Perimeter of a square:

Remember all sides of a square are equal, so you do not need to have different length, width or height.For other shapes like the rectangle we will need to add more steps to our algorithm to get numbers for width or base height.

Step 1: Length of one side is GStep 2: Area = G*G

Step 1: Length of one side is KStep 2: Perimeter = 4K

Congratulations you completed your

lesson on Algorithms.

Soccer commands and Small Basic Programming

Lets compare playing soccer (football) to Small Basic programming:Soccer as a sport is made of some rules which makes us call it a game. Other sports like hockey, basketball, polo, NFL all have their special rules that makes playing their games special. You can not apply soccer rules to hockey, neither can you apply basketball rules to NFL.Computer programming languages are software with special commands for creating apps. They are like different sports with their special rules. Small Basic has it’s own unique commands that helps you create apps.

SOCCER COMMANDS/RULES One big soccer rule is kicking the ball; we can call it the KickBall command (STATEMENT, VERB(action word), Rule), which is done with the LEGS only, we do not kick the ball with our hands. It is wrong or an error to do that. We must KickBall to Pass, Dribble or take a Shot. We can make up a Soccer Command Plan: Lets put these soccer commands into groups i.e 1. KickBall (STATEMENT group);2. Pass, Dribble, Shot (PROPERTY group). Statement and property are separated by a DOT;3. Actions you put inside the bracket (OPERATIONS group)

KickBall

Pass

DribbleShot

KickBall.Pass (a team mate to read your action)

KickBall.Dribble (trick opponent with the ball)

KickBall.Shot (towards a distant position)

Automatic ball actions includes (this will lead us to conditional commands:1. Ball Bounces. 2. Ball spinning on the

floor.3. Ball going out of the

field.

Small Basic Calculator app EDITOR and SOURCE CODE

All rules in soccer work only in the FIELD; similarly in Small Basic, we have an EDITOR that allows us to type in all commands that Small Basic must obey, in order to create our Calculator apps, we call these step-by-step commands SOURCE CODES. The Small Basic EDITOR looks like the photo below:

F5 or RUN tells Small Basic to create an app from all commands (SOURCE CODES) we typed in the Editor

LINES numbers gives us the number of code line typed, when we press the F5 key or RUN button.

Source Code Editor for typing codes

1. TextWindow.WriteLine() - Moves & displays text on a new line in app screen.

2. TextWindow.Write() - Leaves & displays text on same line in app screen.

3. TextWindow.Read() - Allows letters to be typed in app screen.

4. TextWindow.ReadNumber() - Allows numbers to be typed in app screen.

5. Math.Power(number, powernumber) - i.e. 73 is Math.Power(7,3)

6. Math.Pi or Math.Cos() or Math.Tan() or Math.Sin() i.e. Math.Cos(30)7. Math.SquareRoot() - To get the square root of a

number. 8. GOTO, THEN - Command for branching one

code to another. 9. IF, ELSEIF, ENDIF. - To create a branch of events

when coding.

10. Inverted comma ‘ - Allows you comment on a line of code

11. Quote marks “” - Works with .Write() or .WriteLine to display text

in quote marks on app screen. ie.12. Variables - Numbers or letters you

create that are not in Small Basic; commands i.e. total

= sum1 + sum2

Summary of important Small Basic commands for the Calculator Apps lesson

Small Basic Calculator app (Statements, Properties, Operations)

Small Basic app screen command is TextWindow. Like the KickBall STATEMENT works with other commands like (PASS, DRIBBLE or SHOT) separated by a DOT in our Soccer Command Plan.All calculators have a small screen that displays RESULTS. The TextWindow STATEMENT command tells Small Basic to display a small black app screen after the next command, when we press the F5 button on the keyboard or click RUN on the monitor. The small black screen shows that our calculator apps can display any result we are going to program on the SOURCE CODE editor.

Small black app screen appears after pressing F5/RUN button

Source Code

TextWindow Properties and Operations Our entire lesson is focused on making Calculator apps, using 5 Small Basic commands. Small basic understands when you use the commands in the combination given below:i.e. TextWindow.Write (“Calculator Apps”)Displays the comment in the quote on the small black app screen after pressing F5/RUN. Using WriteLine instead of Write put your cursor on the next line in the small black app screen. TextWindow.ReadNumber() Displays a cursor for you to type in numbers only on the small black app screen after pressing F5 Take note of the DOT in-between the STATEMENT and PROPERTIES

IntelliSense & Comments

1. IntelliSense in Small basic provides suggestions on commands you try using on your EDITOR via a small box. It also provide you with the proper spelling and usage of a command you are not too sure of.2. Comments help you keep a note on each line of command you typed. As a young computer programmer, it is easy to forget the use of a code your typed on the Editor; a comment uses an “Inverted comma”, which tells Small Basic to ignore any command after the inverted comma. i.e ‘this is to test comments.

Coding branches Making a branch code is like turning your program into a cross road; or when

you try adding a menu options into your app. You will notice such events on a phone call voice menu i.e. For English press 1

For Spanish press 2

GOTO, THEN, IF, ELSEIF & ENDIF are branch commands in Small Basic. IF English THENGOTO 1ELSEIF Spanish THENGOTO 2ELSEIF Yoruba THENGOTO 3ELSEIF Hausa THENGOTO 4ENDIF

Press 1 for English. Press 2 for

Hindi. Press 3 for Yoruba. Press 4 for

Chinese.

Debugging Debugging your code is correcting

errors (bugs) you made in the source code editor during typing or working with Small Basic codes.Making errors or mistakes in your source code stops your code from becoming a app when your press F5 or RUN button.Small Basic EDITOR will show you the LINE number(s) where error(s) where found, with an error message on each line. You can also debug a code by reading the COMMENTS section to know what it was meant to do; then you can rewrite the algorithm.

The LINE number where an error was found.
