LESSON 6c:  Functions and Scope

Mass Curriculum Standards:

Standard 1: Demonstrate proficiency in the use of computers and applications as well as an understanding of concepts underlying hardware, software, and connectivity.

.

Standard 2: Demonstrate responsible use of technology and an understanding of ethics and safety issues in using electronic media.

Math Standards

Number Sense/Discrete Mathematics: programs deal with differing number types and bases as well as their finite representation in RAM.

Objectives:

· The student will learn how and why we use Function Prototypes.

· Students will learn how to design code using Stubs.

· The student will use pass-by-reference arguments to return multiple values from a function.

Learning Experience

· Review From last class

· Lecture further on Function Prototypes and the use of stub in code design

· Lecture on pass-by-reference functions

· Lab Assignments will follow

Students will be Assessed

• on their ability to break code into logical units/functions.
• Their ability to write function prototypes
• Their ability to successfully call functions and use stubbing techniques
