WHY

Parameters and arguments make functions more flexible.

HOW

CMU Unit 2, sections:

2.1.4 Parameters and Arguments

2.1.6 Exercises

INSTRUCTIONS

Go to academy.cs.cmu.edu/ and log in. Let me know if you forgot your username or password. If you have not yet joined the CMU classroom, follow these instructions.

Section 2.1.4 & 2.1.5

Complete the learning notes. Your goal is to feel comfortable with the content, so spend as much time interacting with the material as you need. You must complete each checkpoint to unlock the exercises.

Section 2.1.6

In this section you will complete a few coding exercises to practice what you learned.

Pay attention to the required number of points! You don't need to do all of the exercises. Choose enough exercises to total the required number of points. Generally the more points an exercise is worth, the harder it is.
