Original Kidemy beginner self-study unit · Learn the idea, try the practical activity and review your written answers. Review your project with a guardian or teacher using the criteria below. Teacher-led course approval and booking are separate.
Learn the idea
An event starts a response, such as pressing Start. A loop repeats instructions. A condition chooses an action according to whether a statement is true. The examples are pseudocode: readable plans, not a particular programming language.
Worked example
When Start is pressed: repeat 3 times, show “Hello”. If the answer is correct, show “Try a new question”; otherwise, show “Review the example”.
- Identify what starts the program.
- Count how many times the loop body runs.
- Check both the true and false branches of a condition.
