Branch Functions

Our journey into functions has gotten more complex. We have moved on to branch functions. Here is a picture of what we have accomplished.

Conclusion

1. Describe why it is important to include branches in programs.

It's important to have branches in a program because they allow for the function to become more complex. It can allowed for loops to occur as well as allow a switch to be added to the function.

2. Describe an everyday application of a normally open switch that has not been given as an example.

An example of an everyday application of a normally open switch is a doorbell. When someone presses the button for the doorbell, it closes the system setting the bell off.

3. Describe an everyday application of a normally closed switch that has not been given as an example.

An example of an everydayapplication of a normally closed switch is a house alarm system. When wiring a house for the alarm system, one would put the wire normally closed. One on the door and one on the door-frame. When the door was opened, the current would be broken, setting the alarm off.
