1)Input=the information that goes in the computer

Constant=a command that happens all the time

Variable=is something that you can change

Output=the piece of information that comes out of the computer.

2)To give the computer specific instructions so it can follow the code exactly and there is less chance of error

Challenge 2 answer: 1) An output is information that comes out of the computer, therefore an input is information that goes into the computer. 
 a variable is something that you can change once. this stores data- information, text and information.
 A constant is something that is always the same.
2) variables and constants might be used in programs because it can give the computer specific instructions.

Challenge 1 :
A variable is something that stores data such as images , numbers and text . An output is the result that has came out , an in put is something that you put in to create an output . 

Challenge 2 : an input is a order you put into the computer . A still robot is a constant it is constantly still . 
A variable only needs to be made once that's what is good about it .

Challenge 1
Challenge 2: An input is a setting that you create to create an output.A constant is something that stays the same.The variable is something that you can control like a setting  such as time or to control an output as a result.An output is something that is a result of an input.
Variables are used to store data such as images,numbers and words. and constants are used in programs because they could be used to control options or time and constants can be used to make a constant loop or to make things stay the same.

answer:
 a input is something when you insert information on something like a key bored or mouse.
 constant is a command that happens all the time.
a variable is something you control.
output is something that displays the information you  input.  variables and constants can be used in programs for instance a quiz this can  be used too make the questions constantly changing.

Constant: a constant is what is shown on the screen.
Variable: a variable is is what you put in to the program example images and numbers and names
Output: a output is what is controlled by a variable
Last answer: you will have a constant and a veritable so that it is shorter and you can do more code for over stuff.

what is an input? ]]> 2016-07-07 10:07:40 UTC https://padlet.com/Mr_hughes/microbit1/wish/116052576 danny https://padlet.com/Mr_hughes/microbit1/wish/116052588 starting point:challenge 1 
answer a variable is something that you control, an output is the result that comes out an input is something that you put in to create an output
challange 2
input is what makes an out put output is what is controlled by the variable and a constant is where something is all ways the same
variables to controll the result(output) and constant to keep it the same an example of output is show because when you controll the variable the result shows and a example of variable is it varys

challenge 2
input. what you add to the computer. output. the thing to display information. constant is happening repeatedly. variable. a variable is used to store data like text numbers and images
in program one you would only have to change it once as there is a variable however for program number 2 it would depend on how many of that image you have as they are all individual it would be better to use a variable as otherwise you would have to change them all individually program. 6. 1 is better for time as it is took automatically taking time off instead of doing it manually.]]> 2016-07-07 10:16:11 UTC https://padlet.com/Mr_hughes/microbit1/wish/116053130 demidempster https://padlet.com/Mr_hughes/microbit1/wish/116053265 starting point

challenge 1 answer:
a variable is something that you control it also stores data .
an output is the result that has came out
challenge 2
challenge 2 answer:
an input is where you add or put something keep the same 
an output is where it outputs the infomation 
a variable is something that stores data
in program 2 because it needs more moves and it would need changing so the microbit would change places .
So ou dont loose data so you wouldhave more space 
because program 1 has more instructions to make the micro bit move.]]> 2016-07-07 10:17:55 UTC https://padlet.com/Mr_hughes/microbit1/wish/116053266 Millie Petty https://padlet.com/Mr_hughes/microbit1/wish/116053955 Challenge 2

Challenge 2 answer:
Input: I think input means what you put into the computer.
Output:  I think output means the thing you display the information.
Constant: I Think constant means something you do not change.
Variable:  I think a variable is something you only change once.]]> 2016-07-07 10:29:28 UTC https://padlet.com/Mr_hughes/microbit1/wish/116053955 Trinity Goodwin  https://padlet.com/Mr_hughes/microbit1/wish/116054238 Challenge 2:
  1. What are the following?
An Input is something you put into the computer to make something work.e.g: a keyboard.
An Output is something that outputs information. e.g: a speaker.
A Variable is only made once and only needs to be changed once too!
A Constant is something that can happened repeatedly.

  1. Why might Variables and Constants be used in programs?
Variables will be used in programs as its is easier to change. These would be easy to change the program and you wouldn't have to do it constantly. Variables also save you by having to name more things. Variables can be useful as you only need to make it once as well as change it, this will help save time. We store data in a variable, you can add text, numbers and even images to a variable.

Constants will be used so you don't have to keep doing the same thing more than once. Constants also save you from putting the same information in more than once.

How many times would you need to change the parts of the image in:
A) Program 1?
B) Program 2?

In program 1 you only need to change the variable once as there is a name for it and you just need to type that name in to find the variable.
In program 2 you would need to change it more than once as there is no variable to change.

input: is where you add or put something into the computer constant s something u keep the same variable is something that you can control output is the results that you get a variable is data and were u keep numbers and images to use later on

An input is what you put into a computer .
output is something that outputs information like when you play music it comes out of the speaker.
variable is something so you  can store something like numbers and you only need to change  it once .
constant is something that can happen repeatedly and can stay the same.

Program 1: you would need to change it once.
Program 2: you would need to change it twice .

why might it be better to use a Variable, instead of repeating the same data?
It would be better to use a variable because you would only need to change it once and you can store numbers,images. If you repeat the same data you will need to change it more times and a variable you will only need to change it once.

Why might program one be better than program two in the change of speed?
It would be better because it has a pause between each image that changes.]]> 2016-07-08 09:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/Mr_hughes/microbit1/wish/116106538 Reece Jones https://padlet.com/Mr_hughes/microbit1/wish/116194280 Challenge 2:

a input is is what you put into the computer.
a output is is what something comes out of something e.g. phone music can play out of the speaker.
what is a variable ?
a variable is where you can store date like names images and even number and when we use them you only create them once.
constant 
the variable of the constant never changes.
changes
in program 1 you only need to change it ones but in program 2 you have to change it how many times you want to change your program.
