SNAP - 05: Introducing Boolean Characters

OPENING QUESTIONS: Let's say you wrote a menu so that a user could select from several different options for their frozen yogurt: Something like this:

Please choose ONE sauce selection from the list below:

Marsh mellow Sauce

Hot Fudge Sauce

Peanut Butter Sauce

Banana Sauce

Please choose your frozen yogurt toppings from the list below:

M & Ms

Reese's Piece se

Heath Bar Pieces

Marsh mellows

 

 

OBJECTIVE:   I will be able to write a statement using basic Boolean Logic during today's class

WORD FOR TODAY:

Boolean (true or false, yes or no, on or off, 1 or 0)

  • or
  • and
  • not

WORK O' THE DAY: 

How would you write out an order from that list?

Notice the first list ONLY let's you select one item. Those objects are called 'radio buttons'. I don't believe radio buttons are available in SNAP

Notice the second list allows us to select as many options as we want. Those objects are called 'check boxes'. I don't think SNAP let's us use those either.

Let's improvise -- work with your team to write just the first menu options.

If the user *does* make two selections, write a message to the user that says "Please choose only ONE topping"

If the user makes ONLY one selection, send a note to the user that says "Thanks for your order!"
