The purpose of an if statement is to_____________________________.

run code based on the value of one or more conditions

What is the main difference between the AND and OR operators?

Which of the following describes the purpose of a loop?

Loops can call a function multiple times

How do functions make your coding more efficient?

Allows you to combine commands into one step

Provides the condition that must be true for code to run

Which of the following statements best describes what conditional code does?

Conditional code runs only when specific conditions are met.

What does nesting loops mean?

to place one repeating block of code inside of another

For loops repeat set #; while loops until condition is false

What is the definition of a while loop?

Block of code that repeatedly runs while condition is true.

How are algorithms similar to what we have already learned?

Algorithms use tools we know to create code that is reused

Coding efficiently means to:

Create the shortest and simplest code

An else if block is used to _________________________________.

check condition that isn’t in other if block/else if blocks

According to Apple Swift, what is pseudocode?

A mix of everyday language and code

Why is it important to pay close attention to conditions used with a while loop in your code?

You could cause an infinite loop if condition is never false

Your outer loop commands will run

What is an algorithm?

A set of rules or instructions used to solve a problem

What is the difference between an “else block” and an “else if block”?

else run if previous condition false; else if add condition

Answers

1
In programming, what is a function?
A set of directions in correct sequence
program created by a code
A bug that is causing a code not to work
A set of commands given a name
2
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
3
What is the main difference between the AND and OR operators?
AND operators will run if one of the conditions is true
OR operators only have one condition
AND operators only have one condition
OR operators will run if one of the conditions is true
4
When conditional statements run in your code, which statement runs LAST?
Boolean statement
“If” statement
“Else if” block
Function curly braces
5
Which of the following describes the purpose of a loop?
Loops can allow you to run commands in sequence
Loops can call a function multiple times
Give commands to your program in the correct sequence
Loops can decompose a problem into smaller parts
6
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
7
The ___________ combines two conditions and runs the code only if both are true.
logical NOT operator
None of the above
logical AND operator
logical OR operator
8
What does the highlighted part of the loop in the example box do?
Makes the condition more specific in your code
Provides the condition that must be true for code to run
Tells the loop how many times it will run in your code
Names the group of commands so it can be reused in your code
9
Boolean values in code can be either _______ or ________.
Functions or Loops
Up or Down
Yes or No
True or False
10
Which of the following statements best describes what conditional code does?
Conditional code finds and fixes bugs.
Conditional code puts commands into the correct sequence
Conditional code runs only when specific conditions are met.
Conditional code calls functions multiple times within code
11
What does nesting loops mean?
to create a block of code that uses multiple loops
to combine two loops into a single loop
to group several loops inside of a function
to place one repeating block of code inside of another
12
What is the difference between a while loop and a for loop?
For loops repeat set #; while loops until condition is false
For loops can be used in a function and while loops cannot
For loops use conditional statements and while loops can't
While loops repeat set #; for loops until condition is false
13
What is the definition of a while loop?
Block of code that repeatedly runs while condition is true.
A symbol that connects two or more Booleans to make specific
Runs a block of code over and over for a set number of times
A block of code that runs one time if its condition is true
14
How are algorithms similar to what we have already learned?
Algorithms use tools we know to create code that is reused
Algorithms are essentially just more complicated while loops
Algorithms are less difficult than nesting loops
Algorithms used for solving really difficult puzzles
15
The ___________ inverts a Boolean value, making it mean the opposite.
logical AND operator
logical OR operator
logical NOT operator
None of the above
16
______________ a function by providing a set of commands in the function to tell it what to do.
call
command
define
run
17
Coding efficiently means to:
Create the shortest and simplest code
Create your code faster than the rest of the class
Code the “right answer” in Apple Swift
Code with the correct programming grammar
18
An else if block is used to _________________________________.
alter the number of times a for loop will run.
run an unusual type of function or loop
check condition that isn’t in other if block/else if blocks
solve all remaining parts of a puzzle
19
According to Apple Swift, what is pseudocode?
Code that uses all of the skills we have learned
A mix of everyday language and code
Code in other languages that Apple Swift
False code hackers use on computers
20
Why is it important to pay close attention to conditions used with a while loop in your code?
Nesting loops can be confusing and can easily get mixed up
You could cause an infinite loop if condition is never false
While loops can shift the timing of the rest of your code
While loops take longer to type and fix than other tools
21
If you have nested loops and your inner loop condition is false, what will happen next?

A group of commands held together in a function
A set of rules or instructions used to solve a problem
23
What is the difference between an “else block” and an “else if block”?
else if block used with conditions; else block is for loops
else if use true conditions; else use false conditions
else run if previous condition false; else if add condition
An else block can be used with inverted conditions
24
Which part of the nested while loops will run FIRST if ALL of the conditions are TRUE?
