| Week #10 Week of April 2nd |
I will be around Monday at 10 in my office (K112) and Tuesday and Thursday after my classes are done (1.45) in K101. Contact me if you need help at a different time. This week we will look at functions in JavaScript and go over questions you may have from last week. If we have time we will move on to loops, but we will see how it goes. We did start loops and the extra credit below involves the loop progams we looked at. Assignments to turn in: Extra credit: Must be passed in before class on Monday April 9th. Look at the mathfor...html examples under JavaScript XHTML and Move JavaScript - loop. I want you to make the change to one of these programs so that you do not move forward to the next math problem until after the user has entered the correct answer. Then you can do another change where you say that you will move forward to the next problem after three tries. This week I want you to experiment with using functions First: Use a function that takes in information with a prompt and puts out results with an alert. You should take in the information outside the function and pass the information to the function. Second: Repeat the first problem above but use textboxes to take in the information and to receive the results from the fuction. Place the results from inside the function. Third: Using textboxes, take in information on the form and pass it to the function. Return the results of the function using one of the methods covered in class and display the results on the form. This should use return to get the results back. Fourth: Do something using the style in this Example |
