Your second chance to engage

This is our second time we engage with the user. Contrary to last lecture focused on numbers, this lecture is focused on string data types. Modular practice is the key to success in programming. Each time we practice something, we will be integrating something new and mixing the old into it. In this lecture we will see strings in action and see how to integrate user input with strings. So let's get started.

What will we learn today?

By the end of this chapter you will know what primitive data types are and you will have a chance to play a bit with strings, numbers and boolean values.

00:42

Setups and Configurations

it's time for us to review the process of updating chapters. By the end of this lecture

02:49

Strings, Numbers and Animation

a deeper look into the process of creating animations. In the process we will explore the differences between numbers and strings.

08:09

From Constants to Variables

In this lecture we will meet our first variable of number type. We will animate three items on our stage and control them all with one variable.

08:30

The String variable

In this lecture we will see why variables are so powerful and as we do so we will add Strings as our second variable

05:39

Working with Operators

in this lecture we will see how you can change variable throughout an application.

06:25

Prompt debugging

The prompt command enables us to interact with the user.

04:32

Your second chance to engage

Strings in action. How to get user created content to change HTML pages.

07:02

Our third variable: Boolean Flags

A Boolean variable can contain only one of two values[true, False]. It's main use is to create a flag in the road.

08:28

Wrapping the talk about variable

Numbers strings and Boolean variables are all primitive datatypes.
