Lesson notes

How a specific lesson is planned

Lesson 1

• 30 minutes installation of the toolchain
• 60 minutes for the basics If someone does not have a working setup after 15 minutes, instruct them to use the computer in front of them (assuming you are in the computer pools).

End with everyone trying out exercise 1

Lesson 2

Funktionen

Explain what functions look like. Order independent: seven() is defined after its first use in the file. Ask: Can anybody see an error? -> use meaningful variable names

statements und expressions

• backtrack to tuple -> empty tuple -> unit type

Quiz 3 Fibonacci

-> overflow checks

• End: give many different input parameters without explicitly saying so -> loop

loops

• loop continue, break

• with if + else we can exit loop

• while: condition tied to loop
