Study Notes

Blockly: Lists

  • Creating a List: Drag a "create list" block onto the workspace. Add items by clicking the "+" button or dragging other blocks into the list.

  • Accessing List Elements:

    • Index-Based Access: Use the "item in list" block to get an item at a specific index (starting from 0).
    • First/Last Item: Use "first item in list" or "last item in list" blocks.
  • Manipulating Lists:

    • Adding Items: Use "append item to list" to add an item to the end.
    • Removing Items: Use "remove item from list" to remove an item at a specific index.
    • Setting Items: Use "set item in list" to modify an existing item at a specific index.
    • Getting List Length: Use "length of list" to determine the number of items.

Iterating Over Lists

  • For Each Loop: Use "for each item in list" blocks to process each item.

  • Conditional Loop: Use "while" loops to iterate until a condition is met.

Example: Finding the Largest Number

  • Create a List: Create a list of numbers using the "create list" block.
  • Initialize a Variable: Create a variable to hold the largest number; initially, set it to the first item in the list.
  • Iterate Over the List: Use a "for each item in list" block to go through each item.
  • Compare Numbers: In each iteration, compare the current item to the current largest number.
  • Update the Largest Number: If the current item is larger, update the largest number variable.
  • Display the Largest Number: After the loop, display the largest number using a text block.

Important Considerations

  • Blockly Variations: The specific blocks and their operations might differ across Blockly implementations. Consult the documentation for your specific Blockly version.
  • Testing is Crucial: Thoroughly test your code to verify accurate results.
