Topic: Making Decisions with Conditional Logic:
SIG-Programming will be discussing Chapter 5, “Making Decisions with Conditional Logic,” of the book “Programming for the Absolute Beginner.” At the last meeting a programming project to create a calculator program was assigned, but don't feel that you have to do this to attend the meeting. Each of the attendees is to try to program a calculator in JustBASIC and bring the results to the next meeting. The only requirement is that it has to add, but can support as many other functions as you want. It doesn't have to be graphical either but it can be if you want.
