Single-step sequencing, infinite loop, for loop, switches (binary)

Sequencing is the concept of how codes are executed line-by-line sequentially. Buttons are used to teach basic if-else statements. The fundamental concept here will be ‘if a button is pressed do A, else do B’.

Multi-step sequencing, loop interrupt, switch (threshold), conditionals

Building off Level 1, the concept of conditionals and comparison operators are introduced within the if-else statement. Instead of a button being pressed, the primary concept in Level 2 is ‘if sensor reading is above a threshold value do A, else do B’.

Sequencing of actions, while loop, basic algorithm, flow of control

While loops are loops with an if-else logic. Sections of code are repeated until certain conditions are met.

Intermediate algorithm, nested loop, nested switch, flow of control

If-else statements within if-else statements. This decision tree structure allows complex algorithms to be built.

Advanced algorithm, discrete variable, function

Variables is the ‘memory’ of a program. They allow for values to be stored and used.

Applied algorithm, continuous variable, feedback loop, error handling

Continuous variable is when a variables can take any decimal value and not just discrete values such as true/false or integers. These allow for more math concepts to be used in coding.
