Object Oriented Programming

Similar to using variables, object properties can be changed in the program. However, you can also dynamically add new properties while the program runs. The video shows how to define an object, use an object property, change an object...

Young coders learn how to use a function to create objects with similar properties and to allow for the creation of objects repeatedly with a short video that makes the point that coding with a function eliminates repetitions.

When you introduce objects and object-oriented programming to your coding students, you are starting them on an important path. This introductory video shows how to replace the use of many variables with the use of a single object...

Expand your beginning coder's use of objects in programs by looking at examples where you can change code to define and use objects in arrays and pass objects as parameters to a function. All of this leads to a deeper understanding of...

This video shows young programmers how to use the same concept to duplicate objects with different properties and attach functions to them. This method allows functions to be easily called with various objects.

Drawing objects based on where the user's mouse is located can be a beneficial and fun coding activity for new JavaScript coders. Here, the speaker shows how to use the mouseY and mouseX variables in a small section of code that draws a...

There is an easier way to share functions among objects. The fifth section of a six-part series on object-oriented design introduces the concept of object inheritance. The coding helps pupils create a base object type that has all the...

Take a big bite out of the red tomato by practicing your use of the variables mouseX and mouseY in a JavaScript coding task. The activity will guide you step-by-step and will help young coders understand how to draw objects based on the...

Draw a rainbow over the rainbow. The second segment in a series of six has the class practice using functions to edit a program that draws a rainbow. After creating the function, the interactive lesson challenges pupils to create another...

Anyone hungry? Create a recipe object in this coding activity. Include a title, number of servings, and ingredients. All of this adds up to one delicious practice opportunity for your programming students who are just learning how to use...
