Yesterday, President Obama sat down with a bunch of students who were learning how to code in hopes of learning something about JavaScript himself.

Obama wrote the following line of code: moveFoward(100);

Quartz reports "Obama was playing with a Code.org tutorial based on the popular Disney movie Frozen. In his line of code, the President called a function-moveForward-pre-defined by Code.org for the exercise."

Code.org's Hour of Code campaign is part of Computer Science Education week.
