This session dives into hands-on programming with random number generation, ATM menus, and Easter date algorithms. Ahmed offers real-time code reviews, logic corrections, and strategic learning advice for Lereko.
Starting with random number generation and the construction of unique voucher codes, the session progresses through BMI calculations and an ATM menu system using switch statements and language selection logic.
The class places a strong emphasis on writing efficient conditional statements, particularly focusing on the proper use of else if versus multiple if conditions. Ahmed also provides an interactive walkthrough of the Easter date algorithm, emphasizing calendar-based logic and input handling.
Throughout the session, practical programming fundamentals are reinforced, such as:
Understanding the difference between == (comparison) and = (assignment)
Using modulus to check for divisibility
Converting user input to uppercase for standardization
Structuring switch statements effectively
Ahmed also discusses the importance of consistent programming practice and warns against over-reliance on AI tools, encouraging Lereko to build authentic coding proficiency. The session closes with motivational guidance on maintaining coding fluency through regular, focused practice.
Ideal for: Beginner to intermediate programming students seeking to improve logical problem-solving, code efficiency, and real-time debugging skills.
