KS4 - Programming Activity sheet

Lesson 22 - Structured programming

Improve the code


Worked example .
Code before
1 to_guess = 3
2 not_guessed = True
3 while not_guessed:
4 print("Guess a number")
5 number = int(input())
6 if number == to_guess:
7 break

Code after
1 to_guess = 3
2 not_guessed = True
3 while not_guessed:
4 print("Guess a number")
5 number = int(input())
6 if number == to_guess:
7 not_guessed = False

Tasks .
1. Copy and paste the ‘before’ code into your development environment
2. Edit the code so that the block only has one entry point and one exit point

3. Paste the improved code into the ‘after’ box

Note: The program should perform in exactly the same way when executed.

Tip: Use the worked example above as a guide.
