Introduction to Coding

Can you understand the words in the talk bubbles in the given picture?

Can you understand the words in the talk bubbles in this picture too?

No!

Yes!

This is because you may not know all these languages.

This means you know English.

We must know the same language to talk to each other. You would have seen this machine. This is a computer.

It can help us do a lot of things.

We can draw pictures, play games, watch films, and more. To make a computer let us do these things, we need to learn how to talk to it.

Computers cannot understand our words like people do.

We have to learn their language. That is what coding is. Coding language is used to talk to a computer. The coding language that we will learn is called Block-based Coding. 1

Block-based Coding

Block-based coding is a way to tell a computer what to do by joining colourful blocks together.

Did You Know?

Let us learn about the platform that we will use to code and have fun.

Just like we join lego blocks, we can place a code block on top of another.

About Code.org

Code.org is a fun coding platform where you can learn to use colourful blocks to make characters move, play games, and even tell stories.

It is a place where you can grow your coding skills and create amazing things using your imagination.

</>

Before we learn to use this platform, let us learn about commands.

Command

Look at the given picture.

Jump!

What is the instruction here?

You are correct! The instruction is to jump. For computers, an instruction is called a command. A command is an instruction that tells a computer what to do.

Discuss

What instructions can you give to your pet?

In block-based programming, we use code blocks to give commands to a computer. Block to make a character move up

Did You Know? In block-based coding, the blocks can be of different colours, like crayons.

Sequence

We all follow a routine in our daily lives.

The pictures below show the steps to get ready for school in an order.

1 Wake up

2 Brush your teeth

3 Take a bath

4 Wear your uniform

5 Have your breakfast

6 Ready for School

Just like this, we do a lot of tasks in our daily lives. A task is a piece of work that needs to be done. It can be as simple as brushing our teeth or as fun as playing with our toys. We follow a particular sequence to do a task.

A sequence is when we do things step by step in an order.

Algorithm

A problem is like a puzzle that needs to be solved. There can be more than one way to solve a problem. Each way has some steps to be followed to solve it. The set of steps in an order to solve a problem is called an Algorithm. In the example given in the previous section, getting ready for school is the problem.

The steps given in order are the solution for this.

Think and Tell Can we have more than one way to solve a problem?

Did You Know?

Some algorithms have fun names, like Hummingbird, Bat, Firefly, and Grey Wolf. You can give your algorithm a name too.

Sometimes problems can be too big to solve.

But we can break them down into smaller ones to solve them easily. Let us talk about making a sandwich.

Making a sandwich may seem like a big problem. But we can solve it easily by breaking it into smaller steps, like gathering all the things we need for the sandwich like bread slices and cheese, and cutting veggies.

When we are ready with all that we need, we can follow the given steps to make a sandwich. 1

Take two slices of bread.

Put cheese on a slice.

Add some toppings.

Put the other slice on the top and the sandwich is ready.

Similar to how we solved the problem of making a sandwich, we can solve many problems in coding by putting the code blocks in a sequence. Now, look at the given picture. We need to help the bird reach the pig. 6

CO24CB0201_P1.indd 6

11/29/2023 1:41:23 PM

We can do this by putting code blocks on top of each other in an order. Let us see how we can make the bird reach the pig.

The W block will make the bird move one step left.

We need to give two W blocks to make the bird move in the left direction. The S block will make the bird move one step down.

These blocks are called direction blocks as they are named after the four main directions: North, South, East, and West.

Think and Tell If we put the blocks in a different order, will the bird do something else? Chapter 1 • Introduction to Coding

Introduction to Sprite

We all enjoy listening to stories. But do you know how stories are created? A story is made up of various elements, such as: 1. Characters 2. Problem 3. Setting 4. Events

: People, animals, or things in the story : Something that needs to be done or solved : The place where the story happens : When and what happens

We can use block-based coding to make stories. Let us make a story about an astronaut going on a space adventure. An astronaut is a person who travels in space to do experiments and explore space.

But before we begin, we should find out the elements of our story.

Who will be the main character in the story?

Correct! The astronaut will be the main character in our story. A character in coding is called a Sprite. So, the astronaut will be the main sprite in the story.

Now, what does an astronaut need to travel in space? Yes! An astronaut needs a rocket to travel.

CO24CB0202_P1.indd 15

11/29/2023 1:42:10 PM

In coding, any other character or thing in the story is also called a sprite. So the rocket will be another sprite in our story. Where should the journey of the astronaut begin? From the Earth, Right!

And where is the astronaut travelling to? Mars, the red planet!

Do It Yourself 2A 1 Name the characters in the given picture from the story Hansel and Gretel.

2 Write down the number of sprites shown in the given pictures. a

Sprite Lab

Now, let us learn about the tool from code.org that we will use to make our story project. It is called Sprite Lab.

A Sprite Lab is where we can create our own stories and games. 16

CO24CB0202_P1.indd 16

11/29/2023 1:42:12 PM

The Sprite Lab has three parts:

1. Play Area 2. Toolbox 3. Workspace

: The area where we can see things happening. : The area that holds all the code blocks and which we can use to give commands. : The area where we can drag and attach the blocks together to make things happen.

Creating a Scene

It is time to make scenes for the exciting journey of the astronaut in Sprite Lab.

We will have two scenes: one for the start of the story and another for reaching Mars. Let us begin with the first scene. Who will be the characters?

Characters: Sprites

The astronaut wants to go to the planet Mars for space exploration.

We had set up our first scene in the previous chapter.

Now, we need to add code for the second scene.

The second scene is where the astronaut will reach the planet Mars. When will the astronaut reach the planet Mars?

The astronaut will reach the planet Mars when it touches the rocket.

Loops

In our daily lives, we do many activities.

Imagine that there are pieces of paper spread everywhere in your room. Your mother wants you to clean them up. What if she tells you to do this for every piece?

She would have to say the same thing many times. But would it not be better if she said it just once?

In the same way, we can use a loop to tell a computer to repeat a command. A loop is an action of doing something, again and again, until the task is complete. In real life, while doing something, we know when to stop.

In the same way, we should know when to stop a task in coding as well. In a loop, we need to know two things: 1 2

What to do?

When to stop?

Imagine we need to put five pieces of paper in the dustbin. Here, what we need to know is: • What to do—pick a piece of paper and put it in the dustbin. • When to stop—when all the five pieces are in the dustbin.

The repeat loop is used when we want to repeat a task a certain number of times. By using the repeat loop, our code has become shorter. Remember the astronaut project?

We made the astronaut change its costume when it touched the rocket. Next, we need to change the background on the same event. Then, we can add a twist to it using the repeat block. Imagine the astronaut reaching the planet Mars. People on Mars gather to see the astronaut. Chapter 4 • Loops

Change the background when the astronaut touches the rocket. a

Open your project.

Find the “set background to” block. 1. Go to the World section.

2. Click and drag the set background to block in the Workspace.

Add the “set background” block. Join the set background block below the sprite stops block.

Click the Code tab to set the Mars background. g

Set the background. 1. Click the drop-down button.

2. Select the Mars background.

Add Mars people at random locations.

Add repeat block. 1. Go to the Loops section.

2. Click and drag the repeat block in the Workspace.

Set the number of times for the repeat block. 1. Join the repeat block below the set background to block.

2. Change the value of number of times to 5.

d Make the Mars people sprite.

1. Go to the Sprites section.

2. Drag and attach the make new sprite at block inside the repeat block.

e Remove the default location block.

Place the green sprite at a random location. 1. Go to the Locations section.

2. Click and drag the random location block.

Attach it to the make new sprite at code block.

This will make five green sprites and make them appear at random locations. A random location is not a fixed place. It is like a surprise place that can be anywhere in an area. Our project is complete.

If you want, you can change the size of the green sprites using the set size code block.

Debugging

Remember when you started learning to ride a bicycle for the very first time? You might have fallen a few times, right?

In the same way, learning coding can be a little tough. In the beginning, the code may not be perfect. You may need to try many times before you get it just right. Sometimes there are tiny mistakes in the code.

The mistakes in the code are called bugs. Finding and fixing these bugs is called debugging.

Why is it important to find and fix errors in computer programs?

It is good to check your code often.

This helps you find mistakes early and fix them before they get big. 56
