Programming with Blocks III: Bridge to Text

The big picture

Five ideas. Keep this table beside your textbook.

Programming with Blocks III in one table
IdeaRemember
WordsOne line per block. The indent shows what is inside.
NamesThe blocks that run stay the same. Used 3 or more times, a name means fewer lines to read.
NumbersOne definition. A new number each call.
ReadingRead in order. A set line replaces the old number.
Exact textA machine reads every character.

Blocks and text say the same steps. Text is stricter about typing.
