Parameters & Return Practice

Let’s take another app through the development process!

You will choose one of the two possibilities.

Parameters & Return Practice

Read the first level of each app to Note the Spice Level 🌶!
see a description of what you are
being asked to create. More spice = more challenge.
Unit 7 Lesson 3 - Activity

Parameters & Return Practice

As you make your way through the choice levels, make sure that you
keep selecting the same app that you chose at the beginning.

You will be building out the app and your coding progress will save as
you move through the levels.

If you want to switch apps at some point in the process, you will have to
start back at level one of the new app.

Prompt: What is one reason why

parameters and return values are useful?

What is one way you think programming

with parameters and return values may
make programming or debugging more
challenging?

Debugging Functions with Parameters and Return

Use the speed

slider to slow down
code so you can
watch how
functions are being
called. This will
highlight lines of
code in yellow as
the program runs.

Use console.log to call functions

with parameters and see how calling
them with different values returns
different values
