alice-teacher Lists on Alice 3.4

[Don Slater]

Carlos,
Yes, although Alice 3 does not support Lists as Alice 2 does, it does support arrays. The attached set of Powerpoint slides should show how how to build an array structure in Alice and how to use the “for… each” and the “each … in together” data structures use for manipulating elements in the arrays.

It is not an exhaustive explanation of the topic, but it should serve as a good starting point for your student.

Please feel free to let me know if you have another questions…

All the best,
Don Slater

One of my students wants to place them all in a list and have the whole list move forward, for example, so that he can easily see which of his checkers need to be turned back so that they'd all be facing the same way. Does anybody know whether this would be an option for him in Alice 3.4?
