+### Homework (Lesson 2)
+
+**Q1)** With just ints and for-loops, recreate this pattern:
+```java
+1
+22
+333
+44444
+555555
+4444
+333
+22
+1
+```
+**Q2)** Write your own switch statement with:
+ * at least one ```break;```
+ * a ```default:``` statement
+
+**Q3)** Write your own if-blocks that use the following at least once:
+* ```!```,```<=``` OR```>=```, ```&&```, ```||```
+* Multiple clauses in one statement.
+* If and else.
+* If, else if, and else.
+
+**Q4)** Use loops to recreate the [Fibonacci Sequence](https://www.mathsisfun.com/numbers/fibonacci-sequence.html) with the initial indexes of 0 and 1.
+* The first 10 indexes are (0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34...)
+* What is index #12? #20? #50?

+- **Growing autonomy**: Students should begin to be able to experiment with the code presented in class and develop similar exercises off of a presented code exercise. Likewise they should know how to contact teaching assistants and look for their own solutions.
+- **Practice**: More practice, students should be able to replicate and compile sections of code presented in class following proper rules of syntax with some understanding of <mark>control flow</mark>
+- **Introduce Boolean Logic, Conditionals and Loops** 
+   - Understanding of logical operators
+     - ```!=```, ```==```, ```&&```, ```||``` 
+   - Grasp of the syntax for different loop types
+      - ```for-loops```, ```do-while```, ```while loops```
+   - Grasp of conditional expressions
+      - If-else statements vs Only If.
+      - Switch statements.
+      - <mark>Control flow</mark>   
+<div class="break"></div>
+
+### Class Exercises
+
+**Conditional notation**
+```java
+int myFavoriteNumber = 42;
+int yourFavoriteNumber = 42;
+
+if(myFavoriteNumber = yourFavoriteNumber){
+   System.out.println("We have the same favorite number!")
+}
+```
+What is wrong with the example above? (2 problems)
+
+**Control flow**
+
+```java
+boolean boughtThePizza = false;
+int payDay = 15;
+int currDate = 14;
+int currBalance = 8;
+
+if(currBalance >= 10){
+    System.out.println("You can buy the pizza");
+    boughtThePizza = true;
+}else{
+    System.out.println("You are too poor to eat here.");
+    boughtThePizza = false;
+}
+if(currDate >= payDay){
+    currBalance = currBalance + 400;
+}
+```
+Is ```boughtThePizza``` true or false? Order Matters!! Let's fix it so it works. (Just rearrange the code, don't add your own)
+
+**Switch Practice**
+
+Write a switch statement that takes a number or char and includes:
+* at least 1 ```case 'value'``` clause
+* at least 1 ```break;```
+* a ```default:``` clause
+
+**For-loop Practice**
+```java
+//What do you think this does?
+int number = 4;
+int tempValue = 0;
+for(int i = 0; i < number; i++){
+    for(int j = 0; j < number; j++){
+        tempValue++;
+    }
+}
+System.out.println(tempValue);
+```
+* What does the previous block of code output?
+* Can you make one to "cube" a number? (x^3)
