Which of the following comments would be the best yo use? //This is a funct ... ion // This function computes the area // Computes and returns the area of a diamond using the parameters height and width The function doesn't need a comment ✔✔// Computes and returns the area of a diamond using the parameters height and width The following if statement should check that an object will fit on the screen. The variables height and width store the height and width of the object. The variables screenHeight and screenWidth store the dimensions of the screen. Which of the following pairs correctly fills in the condition for the if statement below? if(height _____ screenHeight) __ (width ___ screenWidth)){ // the object will fit completely on the screen } (height < screenHeight) && (width < screenWidth) (height > screenHeight) && (width > screenWidth) (height < screenHeight) || (width < screenWidth) (height > screenHeight) || (width < screenWidth) ✔✔(height < screenHeight) && (width < screenWidth) In which of the following scenarios would it be best to use a for loop? When you need to stop looping based on input from the user When you need to check that a user's input is valid When you want to ask the user for 10 numbers When you need to be able to use the block of code in many places in your program. ✔✔When you want to ask the user for 10 numbers In which of the following scenarios would it be best to use a while loop? When you need to change the color of one rectangle. When you need to get and store the user's age. When you need to find the average of 12 numbers. When you need to loop as long as the user inputs even numbers. ✔✔When you need to loop as long as the user inputs even numbers. Why do programmers use variables? Because that are lazy and don't want to write out equations every time. It allows the programmer to reuse multiple lines of code. They are a way to document functions. To store values to easily reuse later and make code easier to read and understand ✔✔To store values to easily reuse later and make code easier to read and understand Which of the following while loops will make karel move until a wall is in the way? while(frontIsBlocked()){ move(); } while(frontIsClear()){ move(); } while(facingEast()){ move(); } while(noBallsPresent()){ move(); } ✔✔while(frontIsClear()){ move(); } Which of the following pairs of keywords correctly fits in the code below? ____(frontIsClear()){ move(); } ____(ballsPresent()){ takeBall(); } if, else while, else for, it while, if ✔✔while, if Which of the following choices is a valid and useful variable name? 2nd Number myVariable joes___variable minNum ✔✔minNum What is top down Design?

Working from the top of your program and coding down to the bottom Starting with the biggest problem and then working down to solve the more specific problems. Implementing all of the functions first, then putting them together in the start function. ✔✔Starting with the biggest problem and then working down to solve the more specific problems. In order to ask the user for input and store the result as a string, you should use the function _____. ✔✔read line Most lines of code must end with a _______. ✔✔Semicolon A(n) ____ is a series of steps or instructions that describe how to solve a problem. ✔✔Algorithm A(n) _______ variable can either take the value true or false. ✔✔boolean A(n) _____ variable stores whole numbers. ✔✔readint [Show More]
