ITL - AP Programming Language Part 1 (Lesson)

Learning the AP Exam Reference

Let's review the major concepts of programming as the College Board is going to test using the AP Student Reference Sheet.  The following videos will walk through this sheet explaining in relation to what we know.  Ask your instructor if you have further questions.

Each of the videos below will walk through the major sections of the agnostic programming language constructions that the College Board will use for their multiple choice portion of the exam.  Please study the Student Reference Handout carefully with these videos to understand the generic language constructs that will be in use.

The first video is an overview of the topics covered in the remaining videos. Remember that all of the statements are similar in nature to what we did with Alice, but in a generic format that is workable with any language.

Reference Items

Use your AP Exam Reference Document as you go through these videos. Mark on your document items that you need to remember! This is a good document to review prior to the exam with the notes on it. You will not be able to take your copy to the exam, but a new copy will be supplied.

Assignment Statements

In this video, the Assignment statement, Display statement, and a generic Input statement will be reviewed for the exam.  

Arithmetic, Operation, Number Procedures
