Visual to text coding: Lesson 11

This is the eleventh in a series of lessons to transition from visual coding to text-based coding with a General Purpose Programming language. It builds on the coding concept of functions. With the addition of parameters, functions allow the programmer to adapt their reusable code’s behaviour, tapping into the Computational Thinking skills of generalisation, pattern recognition and abstraction.
