P. 12
Aryan: Do you have any tips to help me code before I start.
Gowri: Yes, First thing is you should be patient and read the question atleast 2-3 times
or more untill you are comfortable. Then go through it manually and write down the
simplified steps in English and thereon you can convert it into programming language.
Also, be willing to make mistakes and never get discouraged by them—no one can code
without errors, not even experienced programmers!
For example, if I ask you to make a sandwich.
Aryan: But I do not know how to make it.
Gowri: Exactly, so it may seems difficult to you. But let me simplify this in step by step
instructions.
1. Go to the kitchen.
2. Open the fridge.
3. Take out bread, a tomato, and a cheese slice.
4. Take a plate and knife.
5. Wash the tomato and wipe it dry.
6. Cut the tomato into slices.
7. Place one slice of bread on the plate.
8. Arrange the tomato slices on the bread.
9. Stack cheese slice on top.
10. Cover with the second slice of bread.
11. Sandwich is ready.
Aryan: You made this difficult task so easy by defining in simplified steps. Moreover,
you were very accurate and even pointed out small details in these steps.
Gowri: Yes Aryan, When we code, we have to give every instruction clearly, step by step.
to computer too as if we miss out on any we will not get the desired result. Computer
do not have its own IQ or intelligence to fill gaps if we have in our instructions. It will
just do what we tell him to.
Aryan: Ok, Now I understand.
Gowri: Yes, Now before learning to code why do not you write step by step instructions
for following scenarios.
Aryan: Sure! I’ll try. I know I can do it—because I’m determined!
Gowri: Good. So scenarios are:
1. Making Maggie noodles.
2. To find the perimeter of the top of our book.
3. To do surya namaskar.
Aryan and Gowri looked up videos and questions to improve their problem solving.
Aryan: Hey Gowri, this is actually fun! I think I can now solve many everyday problems
easily, because I’ve started seeing things analytically. One day, maybe... I’ll make a
ROBOT!
