Debugging and function. Max loved to explore his mom's computer, clicking on icons and opening programs. One day, he stumbled upon a game he wanted to play, but it wouldn't start. Why isn't it working? He wondered, his mom explained that sometimes programs have errors and that's where debugging comes in. Max watched as his mom carefully read through lines of code searching for mistakes. She found a function that wasn't working properly and fixed it. Suddenly the game came to life on the screen and Max was thrilled. What's a function? He asked, his mom explained that it was like a recipe for the computer, telling it what to do. Max's curiosity was peaked and he wanted to know more about how functions worked. His mom sat down with him and opened up a programming editor. She showed him how to write a simple function that would add two numbers together. Functions are like little helpers for the computer. She explained, they perform specific tasks like adding numbers, drawing shapes or playing sounds. Max was fascinated by the idea that he could write his own functions to tell the computer what to do. He wanted to try writing more functions and see what else he could create with each new concept. He learned Max's passion for programming continued to grow. Max couldn't wait to learn more about programming.
