Why does Swift Playgrounds use the real-life example of planting seeds to help explain loops?

Planting seeds is often done in a pattern that is repeated

How do functions make your coding more efficient?

Allows you to combine commands into one step

Why are the first several Apple Swift puzzles on loops simple enough to solve in a single loop?

The puzzles are divided into patterns that repeat themselves

Which of the following describes the purpose of a loop?

Loops can call a function multiple times instead of once

Coding efficiently means to:

Create the shortest and simplest code

How do loops make your code more "efficient"?

they allow you to repeat functions without retyping them

Look at the highlighted portion of the loop example. What does this number represent?

Why does Swift Playgrounds use the real-life example of planting seeds to help explain loops?
Flowers can be many different sizes
Planting seeds is often done in a pattern that is repeated
Someone would have to command you to do garden work
Different plants grow from different types of seeds
2
How do functions make your coding more efficient?
Makes you use "math" concepts in coding
Gives you a way to customize your code
Allows you to combine commands into one step
Functions make the puzzles easier
3
Why are the first several Apple Swift puzzles on loops simple enough to solve in a single loop?
The puzzles ONLY review what you already learned in Lesson 1
The puzzles are divided into patterns that repeat themselves
All the puzzles that need several functions to complete them
The puzzles are all four-sided shapes
4
Which of the following describes the purpose of a loop?
Give commands to your program in the correct sequence
Loops can decompose a problem into smaller parts
Loops can allow you to run commands in sequence
Loops can call a function multiple times instead of once
5
Coding efficiently means to:
Code with the correct programming grammar
Create your code faster than everybody else
Create the shortest and simplest code
Code the right answer in Apple Swift
