3. Control structures and planning

Writing more complex programs using control structures, introducing the Iteration lab. Program tracing and debugging. Using external libraries, reading documentation. Planning with drawings, pseudocode, and other diagrams: the Drawing project is assigned. Decomposition and code reuse. Types as a contract between functions.

Notes:

• Study groups should start meeting this week if you have not already. Let me know if you need help finding a group.
• I have released an updated version of mwc. Run uv tool upgrade making-with-code-cli to upgrade. Confirm you have 5.6.0 by running mwc version.
• I have assessed all the work which has been submitted so far--run mwc update fetch all the changes to your projects (including my assessment). Then you should see assessment.md. If something doesn't look right, let me know so we can debug.
• You can check the status of your submitted and assessed work using mwc status. If you want to know about all the options, add --help to any command, or read the documentation here.
