Topic Brainstorming

Add topics here at the end of the section. Please don't remove anything!

problem solving, algorithms, what is computer science
pseudo-code ??
sequence of simple instructions
- top down coding in sequence (e.g., draw a house)
variables
- declaring vs. assigning
- memory usage ??
- constants
- examples:
  - compute simple math formulas
  - interactive input (e.g., use mouse position)
  - motion (if doing graphics)
CONDITIONALS
- simple IF/ELSE
- nested IF
- booleans(AND/OR)
- examples:
  - make choices based on runtime input
  - basic state machine
  - edge cases / error checking
ITERATION
- repeating X times (REPEAT)
- counting (FOR)
- repeating until condition (WHILE)
- nested loops
- examples
  - sum/avg/max/min
  - counting matches
  - MonteCarlo approximation
  - loop until user input
  - searching (find first match)
ARRAYS (1D and 2D)
recursion
- likely 1406 material?
