Questions 26

Answers

1
If you have nested loops and your inner loop condition is false, what will happen next?
The while loop will start over
Any other commands will run
Your outer loop commands will run
Your else if block will run
2
Which of the following describes the purpose of a loop?
Loops can call a function multiple times
Loops can decompose a problem into smaller parts
Give commands to your program in the correct sequence
Loops can allow you to run commands in sequence
3
The purpose of an if statement is to_____________________________.
find problems in existing code
collect gems and toggle switches
determine whether a function or a loop needs to be used
run code based on the value of one or more conditions
4
What is the difference between a while loop and a for loop?
For loops use conditional statements and while loops can't
For loops can be used in a function and while loops cannot
While loops repeat set #; for loops until condition is false
For loops repeat set #; while loops until condition is false
5
An else if block is used to _________________________________.
check condition that isn’t in other if block/else if blocks
run an unusual type of function or loop
alter the number of times a for loop will run.
solve all remaining parts of a puzzle
6
The ____________ combines two conditions and runs the code if at least one is true.
logical AND operator
None of the above
logical OR operator
logical NOT operator
7
Which part of the nested while loops will run FIRST if ALL of the conditions are TRUE?
The primary loop’s commands
The inner loop’s commands
The outer loop’s commands
The secondary loop’s commands
8
Why is it important to pay close attention to conditions used with a while loop in your code?
While loops can shift the timing of the rest of your code
While loops take longer to type and fix than other tools
Nesting loops can be confusing and can easily get mixed up
You could cause an infinite loop if condition is never false
9
Boolean values in code can be either _______ or ________.
True or False
Up or Down
Functions or Loops
Yes or No
10
Which of the following statements best describes what conditional code does?
Conditional code calls functions multiple times within code
Conditional code runs only when specific conditions are met.
Conditional code finds and fixes bugs.
Conditional code puts commands into the correct sequence
11
How do functions make your coding more efficient?
Functions make the puzzles way easier
Gives you a way to customize your code your way
Allows you to combine commands into one step
Makes you use more “math” concepts in coding
12
What does nesting loops mean?
to place one repeating block of code inside of another
to group several loops inside of a function
to combine two loops into a single loop
to create a block of code that uses multiple loops
13
______________ a function by providing a set of commands in the function to tell it what to do.
call
define
command
run
14
What is the main difference between the AND and OR operators?
OR operators only have one condition
AND operators only have one condition
AND operators will run if one of the conditions is true
OR operators will run if one of the conditions is true
15
What is the difference between an “else block” and an “else if block”?
else run if previous condition false; else if add condition
else if block used with conditions; else block is for loops
An else block can be used with inverted conditions
else if use true conditions; else use false conditions
16
Coding efficiently means to:
Code the “right answer” in Apple Swift
Code with the correct programming grammar
Create your code faster than the rest of the class
Create the shortest and simplest code
17
How are algorithms similar to what we have already learned?
Algorithms are essentially just more complicated while loops
Algorithms used for solving really difficult puzzles
Algorithms use tools we know to create code that is reused
Algorithms are less difficult than nesting loops
18
What is the definition of a while loop?
A symbol that connects two or more Booleans to make specific
Block of code that repeatedly runs while condition is true.
A block of code that runs one time if its condition is true
Runs a block of code over and over for a set number of times
19
According to Apple Swift, what is pseudocode?
Code that uses all of the skills we have learned
False code hackers use on computers
Code in other languages that Apple Swift
A mix of everyday language and code
20
What is an algorithm?

A set of rules or instructions used to solve a problem
A group of commands held together in a function
A coding solution that use all of the tools we have learned
21
How do “for loops” make your code more efficient?
they allow you to combine commands into a single function
they allow you to build a code library you can use later
they allow you to repeat functions without retyping them
they let you skip a lot of the annoying grammar rules

25
What does the highlighted part of the loop in the example box do?
Tells the loop how many times it will run in your code
Provides the condition that must be true for code to run
Names the group of commands so it can be reused in your code
