Making use of lessons?

Question

Am I supposed to be using a computer while using this app? I downloaded it for when I’m not at home, but it’s saying to use notepad, asking me to download things, and the try it yourself activities are usually already completed.

Answer 1

A desktop/laptop would certainly complement your learning process through the use of this app. Code Playground has its limitations. In an actual even where you create programs, the most common scenario would be you coding on a computer and not your phone, which is why the tutorials may attempt to teach you how to do so. As for the 'Try it yourself' activities, those are supposed to demonstrate that the code sample works. You are encouraged to then tweak the code around, observe the changes of the output, and get a better understanding of how things work.

Thanks for the response.
