The Official BBC Micro:bit User Guide

Appendix B

JavaScript Recipes

THIS APPENDIX CONTAINS complete code listings for the programs detailed in Chapter 6, ‘JavaScript’, and Chapter 8, ‘The Wireless BBC micro:bit’, presented without comments to make them easier to type in and compare against. When a line of code would extend past the border of the page, a ↩ symbol is printed. When you see this symbol, continue to type the code without pressing the Enter or Return keys. If you’re not sure how a line of code should be entered, visit the website at www.wiley.com/go/bbcmicrobituserguide to download plain-text versions of each program; these can then be used for reference or even simply copy and pasted directly into the editors.
