Objectives

Students will be able to:

  • Generate and use random numbers in a program
  • Update a value stored in a variable

 

Vocabulary

  • Using Random Numbers The randomNumber() block can be used to generate random numbers in your programs. The parameters set the minimum and maximum value that could be generated. You can use this block anywhere that you could write a number. This example is like a die that could randomly generate any number from 1 to 6.
