Objective

The objective is to reinforce the class knowledge of numbers and simple sums in Go and to reinforce the skills needed to create and run a Go program.

The pupils are introduced to brackets and shown how to use them to group terms. The pupils are also introduced to the idea of operator precedence.

Creating this program will require the class to use the text editor (either Atom or LiteIDE) to create and save the source code file and the terminal/command line to run their program.

Objective

The objective is to get the class to write a Go program to solve simple mathematical problems. The program will only use addition (typed +), subtraction (typed -), multiplication (typed * not ×) and division (typed / not \ or ÷). Creating this program will require the class to use the text editor (either Atom or LiteIDE) to create and save the source code file and the terminal/command line to run their program.

Each subsequent lesson will require the class to use both the text editor and the terminal.

Computers are used to process data. All data is made up of numbers. Yes, really! Everything is just a bunch of numbers to a computer. These are the only things they understand.

We are going to explain how numbers are used in Go programs. Then we are going to show you how to do type sums in Go.
