Writing your Main Function

Creating Assertions

Function Parameters and Return Values

Writing Function Logic and Conditionals

Solve the Module Without Help

Overview: Welcome to Cairo Mummies! You will learn the Cairo programming language by learning the ins and outs of building pyramids, tombs and mummies.

        In module one we will be building our first simple Cairo script to help begin understanding pyramids. This will start with just the basics: we will create a main function, write some simple helper functions and deal with assertions. You will also become familiar with the concept of a field element (felt), the primitive type of Cairo.

        What you will implement: For this section you will write two simple functions, one that will calculate the optimal number of area units to build the base of a pyramid, and another that will check if the base of a pyramid is being built correctly.

        Topics covered: Inputs, Outputs, functions, felts, main function, conditionals.

        Note: You can either skips the step by step lessons and solve the whole module or go step by step starting at Lesson 1. See you on the other side of your first script.

Creating an array

Writing Function Signatures For Recursing Through Array

Printing Output & Implicit Arguments

Implementing Recursive Logic

Local Variables

Returning multiple values and more recursion

Overview: In module two we will get an introduction to the intricacies of arrays. You will deal with recursing through these arrays of felts, known as felt*.

        What you will implement: For this section you will write a function that recurses through an array of numbers, representing the angle of each of the faces of the pyramid with the ground, and ensure the angles are within the safe range prescribed by the Mummies or are to their liking to build a joke pyramid.

        In this section we will cover: arrays (felt*), recursion, builtins, implicit arguments, imports and local variables. You can either skips the step by step lessons and solve the whole chapter or go step by step starting at Lesson 1. See you on the other side.
