Spinning teacups, ice cream, and of course: rollercoasters! Through the use of <b>code</b>, Pearl and Pascal can keep track of their ride tokens and calculate when the line is short enough to get a spot on the biggest ride of them all--the Python Coaster. Variables, if-then-else sequences, and a hunt for a secret hidden code make this a humorous, code-tastic day at the amusement park!<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>By day, Josh Funk writes C++, Java Code, and Python scripts as a software engineer, which he's been doing for the last twenty years.
