3.5 Paint Pot Refactoring and Procedural Abstraction

Using variables is a form of abstraction and creating your own procedures for blocks of code that are repeated is known as procedural abstraction - you create a procedure that you can call multiple times but you only write the code for that procedure once thus reducing repetitive code. This makes it easier to modify that code because you only have to modify it in one place, in the procedure.

Demo - Creating your own Procedures, adding comments - Java is full of built in procedures but as a programmer you can create your own.

Demonstrate your completed app - be sure to use the Paint Pot Template provided for this exercise.
