This is part 1 of 2.

Learning Objectives

The tutorial will guide you as you apply the concepts of algorithms, learned in previous labs, to actual coding in JavaScript, enabling you to:

1. Work with string (text), number, and boolean (true or false) data.
2. Use variables (memories).
3. Perform input and output.
4. Use the if and if/else statements
5. Define and use functions to extend the capabilities of the agent

Instructions

Go to Codecademy for the JavaScript tutorial.

1. Sign up. You need to create an account and login to keep track of your progress. You can customize your profile, but you don’t have to.

2. Log in.

3. Click on “Start learning.” Select “JavaScript” as the language, then click on “Start.”

4. Follow the instructions. For this assignment, we want you to complete the first four lessons:
   • Lessons 1–2: Introduction to JavaScript
     1. Getting Started with Programming
     2. Choose Your Own Adventure!
   • Lessons 3–4: Functions
     3. Introduction to Functions
     4. Build “Rock, Paper, Scissors”

   As you progress through the lessons, you will earn “badges”; we will want you to turn some of these in.

   The lessons are highly interactive and full of help; but if you get stuck, send us a message. In that case, you will probably need to copy and paste your code into the message, or else attach a screenshot of it, so we will know exactly what it is that you’re asking about.

   This will probably take longer than an hour, but you can log out and come back at any time.

5. When you’ve finished, show us your badges:
   • Go to the Codecademy dashboard, and look at “Your badges.”
   • If all of the badges you have earned are showing, take a screenshot of them and submit that.
   • If not all are showing, select “View all,” take one or more screenshots (as many as it takes) to show all of your badges, and submit those.

Turning in This Assignment
