Questions 26

Answers

1
What does nesting loops mean?
to place one repeating block of code inside of another
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
2
What does the highlighted part of the loop in the example box do?
Names the group of commands so it can be reused in your code
Tells the loop how many times it will run in your code
Provides the condition that must be true for code to run
Makes the condition more specific in your code
3
Which of the following describes the purpose of a loop?
Loops can allow you to run commands in sequence
Give commands to your program in the correct sequence
Loops can decompose a problem into smaller parts
Loops can call a function multiple times
4
How do “for loops” make your code more efficient?
they let you skip a lot of the annoying grammar rules
they allow you to repeat functions without retyping them
they allow you to build a code library you can use later
they allow you to combine commands into a single function
5
When conditional statements run in your code, which statement runs LAST?
Function curly braces
Boolean statement
“If” statement
“Else if” block
6
How are algorithms similar to what we have already learned?
Algorithms are less difficult than nesting loops
Algorithms used for solving really difficult puzzles
Algorithms use tools we know to create code that is reused
Algorithms are essentially just more complicated while loops
7
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
8
An else if block is used to _________________________________.
alter the number of times a for loop will run.
solve all remaining parts of a puzzle
run an unusual type of function or loop
check condition that isn’t in other if block/else if blocks
9
The ____________ combines two conditions and runs the code if at least one is true.
logical OR operator
logical AND operator
None of the above
logical NOT operator
10
Coding efficiently means to:
Create the shortest and simplest code
Code with the correct programming grammar
Code the “right answer” in Apple Swift
Create your code faster than the rest of the class
11
What is the definition of a while loop?
Block of code that repeatedly runs while condition is true.
Runs a block of code over and over for a set number of times
A symbol that connects two or more Booleans to make specific
A block of code that runs one time if its condition is true
12
According to Apple Swift, what is pseudocode?
A mix of everyday language and code
Code that uses all of the skills we have learned
Code in other languages that Apple Swift
False code hackers use on computers
13
The ___________ inverts a Boolean value, making it mean the opposite.
logical NOT operator
logical OR operator
None of the above
logical AND operator
14
What is the main difference between the AND and OR operators?
OR 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
AND operators only have one condition
15
What is the difference between an “else block” and an “else if block”?
An else block can be used with inverted conditions
else if use true conditions; else use false conditions
else if block used with conditions; else block is for loops
else run if previous condition false; else if add condition
16
Which of the following statements best describes what conditional code does?
Conditional code runs only when specific conditions are met.
Conditional code calls functions multiple times within code
Conditional code puts commands into the correct sequence
Conditional code finds and fixes bugs.
17
In programming, what is a function?
A bug that is causing a code not to work
program created by a code
A set of commands given a name
A set of directions in correct sequence
18
______________ a function by providing a set of commands in the function to tell it what to do.
command
define
call
run
19
Boolean values in code can be either _______ or ________.
Functions or Loops
True or False
Yes or No
Up or Down
20
What is an algorithm?
A solution that works for more than one line of code
A group of commands held together in a function
A set of rules or instructions used to solve a problem
A coding solution that use all of the tools we have learned
21
The purpose of an if statement is to_____________________________.
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
find problems in existing code
22
Which part of the nested while loops will run FIRST if ALL of the conditions are TRUE?
The secondary loop’s commands
The primary loop’s commands
The outer loop’s commands
The inner loop’s commands
23
What is the difference between a while loop and a for loop?
For loops use conditional statements and while loops can't
While loops repeat set #; for loops until condition is false
For loops repeat set #; while loops until condition is false
For loops can be used in a function and while loops cannot
24
If you have nested loops and your inner loop condition is false, what will happen next?
Your else if block will run
Your outer loop commands will run
Any other commands will run
The while loop will start over
25
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
While loops can shift the timing of the rest of your code
You could cause an infinite loop if condition is never false
While loops take longer to type and fix than other tools
26
The ___________ combines two conditions and runs the code only if both are true.
logical OR operator
logical AND operator
None of the above
logical NOT operator
