Description

This unit introduces pupils to string-handling techniques, they will explore how a string can be iterated over using a loop and sliced to create substrings. Pupils will be introduced to arrays and lists and explore the differences between the two. They will manipulate with a variety of list methods.

As pupils become more confident programmers, they are ready to extend their understanding of how data can be organised and manipulated within programs. This unit builds on earlier work with text and data structures, introducing more sophisticated ways to store, access, and modify information. Understanding how to handle strings and lists enables pupils to create programs that are more efficient and adaptable. Developing these skills now strengthens their logical thinking and prepares them to design solutions that manage and process larger sets of data effectively.
