In anticipation of some videos being played more times than can be represented with 32 bits, the Web site is planning to change to 64-bit integers for the counter. Which of the following best describes the result of using 64-bit integers instead of 32-bit integers? A. 2 times as many values can be represented . B. 32 times as many values can be represented. C. 2^32 times as many values can be represented. D. 32^2 times as many values can be represented.

C. 2^32 times as many values can be represented. NOTE: Every time you add a single bit to a binary number, you multiply by 2 the number of numbers you can represent. So for example, a 2-bit number can represent 4 numbers (0 - 3), and a 3-bit number can represent 8 numbers (0 - 7). So if you're going from a 32-bit to a 64-bit number, you are multiplying the number of numbers you can represent by 2, 32 times, so 2^32 is the correct answer.

Pick the two expressions involving the Modulo operation that compute to the exact same value (choose 2) A. 9 MOD 8 B. 1 MOD 16 C. 52 MOD 32 D. 9 MOD 64

A. 9 MOD 8 B. 1 MOD 16 NOTE: Modulo: A modulo is an operation that helps find the remainder of a number. Specifically, given two numbers, x and y, the result of the modulo operation is the remainder after doing x divided by y. General example: x%y is read as "x MOD y" the remainder after x/y y goes into x a certain number of times, and the remaining number is left For the question choices: 9 MOD 8 : 8 goes into 9 one time, with a remainder of 1 1 MOD 16: 16 goes into 16 zero times, with a remainder of 1 52 MOD 32: 32 goes into 52 once, with a remainder of 20 9 MOD 64: 64 goes into 9 zero times, with a remainder of 9 Since 9 MOD 8 and 1 MOD 16 both have a remainder of 1, they compute to the same value

A middle school is expanding to open a high school next year, doubling the total number of students. The school keeps a database in which each student's unique ID number is stored as an 8 bit number called studentID. Before the arrival of the new students almost every 8 bit number has already been assigned to a student. Which is the most accurate description of how the school could modify the way studentID is represented in the database to ensure each incoming student receives a unique ID? A. Add a bit to studentID to double the number of IDs that the database can represent. B. Double the number of bits in studentID to double the number of IDs that the databases can represent. C. Keep using an 8-bit number for studentID but reserve the first bit to indicate middle school or high school. D. Remove a bit from studentID to make room for incoming students.

A. Add a bit to studentID to double the number of IDs that the database can represent.

A. Add a bit to studentID to double the number of IDs that the database can represent. NOTE: Doubling the number of bits would obviously make room for more student IDs, but it's inaccurate to say that that doubles the number of possible IDs. If the number of bits went from 8 to 16, it's 256 TIMES AS MANY possible ids. 8 bits = 256 values and 16 bits = 65,536 IDs.

Compared to the number of words in a natural language, the number of defined words in a programming language is very small. NOTE: "Natural" languages can be interpreted in many ways; however, computers need a specific set of instructions in order to work. To successfully communicate with a computer, programming languages are created with limited defined words and little ambiguity so computers can read and process code a certain way. Unlike natural languages, there is only one way to interpret written code for a computer for a given programming language.

E. IDs allow a programmer to reference interface elements within their code.

A. An element with a unique ID must always have an event handler associated with it. NOTE: Unit 5 Lesson 1 An element must be given a unique ID so a program can reference it; however, it does not need an event handler (lines of code that is executed due to an event such as mouse clicks, keyboard presses, and so forth). For example, a screen has a button and an image on it. Both the button and the image have unique element IDs (such as "button1" and "image1"). The button has an event handler because the user would need to click it for code to run; however, the image does not have an event handler because it displays an image without needing an action from the user and thus, does not necessarily have an event handler associated with it.

Which of the following is FALSE about event-driven programs? A. Event-driven programs do not implement algorithms. B. Some portions of an event-driven program may never execute while the program is running. C. An event-driven program is written to respond to specified events by executing a block of code or function associated with the event. D. The order in which an event-driven program will run cannot always be known ahead of time. E. Event-driven programs can be run multiple times with different outcomes, based on user interactions.

A. Event-driven programs do not implement algorithms. NOTE: Unit 5 Lesson 1 An "Event-driven program" is a program that runs in relation to an event, such as user actions (mouse clicks, button presses, etc.) Depending on what the event is, multiple functions can be run in a certain order (as an algorithm) to execute a task. Or, a program can run with a specific flow depending on the event. This flow can be determined with a written algorithm. For example, a program is written to fix the size of an image by making it bigger with a click of a button. When the button is clicked, there can be code inside the event block that implements an algorithm that adds 10 pixels onto the current image.

An artist makes an RGB raster image in which each pixel color is encoded with 12-bits --- 4 bits each for red, green and blue. Which of the following correctly shows the hexadecimal value for Red as a 12-bit representation. A. F00 B. 00F C. FF00 D. FF0000

A. F00 NOTE: The correct answer is F00. A single hex digit is used to represent a 4-bit sequence - since there are 16 possible 4-bit sequences and 16 different hex digits 0-F. So 3 hex digits represents 12 bits, and the first digit represents the intensity of Red in an RGB image.

Lossless transformation B. Lossy transformation C. Multiband transformation D. Chrome Sampling transformation

A. Lossless transformation NOTE: The answer is "lossless" transformation because there is a computational process you can perform on the transformed data to recover the original (namely, subtract 20). The question is carefully formulated to ensure that this is true. This question is tricky for a few reasons: it is carefully formulated with starting assumptions and values that ensure the transformation is lossless. If you applied this transformation willy-nilly it might be lossless (see below). it applies the terms lossy and lossless outside the context they are usually presented (compression) because of the fact that the data is being transformed and overwritten, you might be tricked into thinking that the data is "lost". But the transformation itself is lossless because you can apply a computational process to the transformed data to recover every bit of the original information. It would be "lossy" if the transformation did something that would not let you recover every bit. For example: If the question stated that you add 200 to each RGB channel, it might be lossy, because if, say, one of the RGB values was (75, 57, 99), adding 200 to each would max out the values at 255 - since an RGB value cannot be greater than 255 - the resulting transformation would be the RGB value (255, 255, 255). Reversing the process, subtracting 200 from each of the transformed values does not restore the original. Since there is no process or computation you can perform on the transformed data to recover the original, it is "lossy".

A raw digital sound file samples a sound wave at some interval and measures the height of the wave at each point, thus, raw sound is recorded as a list of numbers. In very broad terms, the MP3 audio compression algorithm identifiers frequencies and volume levels - low and high - that are outside the range of human hearing and removes the data representing these frequencies form the original. This technique results in a smaller audio file that sounds exactly the same to the human ear. This technique is an example of what type of compression?

Which of the following statements best describes the properties of public key encryption? A. Public key encryption is an encryption method which relies on separate keys for encrypting and decrypting information. B. Public key encryption is a highly secure encryption scheme that in which a single shared key is used by both the sender and receiver of the message. C. Public key encryption makes use of certain types of problems which are easier for humans to solve than computers. D. Public key encryption makes use of mathematical problems which no algorithm can be used to solve.

A. Public key encryption is an encryption method which relies on separate keys for encrypting and decrypting information.

Fill in the blank of the following statement: "______ encryption is a method of encryption involving one key for both encryption and decryption." A. Symmetric B. Asymmetric C. Public key D. SSL

A. Symmetric NOTE: Symmetric Encryption: A scheme in which the key to encrypt data is the same as the key to decrypt. Asymmetric Encryption: Used in public key encryption, it is a scheme in which the key to encrypt data is different from the key to decrypt. Public Key: This is used prevalently on the web, it allows for secure messages to be sent between parties without having to agree on, or share, a secret key. It uses an asymmetric encryption scheme in which the encryption key is made public, but the decryption key is kept private. SSL: (Secure Sockets Layer) is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browsers remain private and integral.

Which of the following are actions a programmer could take when debugging a segment of code that would most likely lead to finding a problem and fixing it? (choose two) A. Change the names of variables within the program and run the program again. B. Display the value of variables at various points during the program. C. Ask a friend or collaborator to look over the code segment to see if they are able to find any errors. D.

B. Display the value of variables at various points during the program. C. Ask a friend or collaborator to look over the code segment to see if they are able to find any errors. NOTE: Unit 5 Lesson 4 Debugging a program by printing out the current values with console.log and seeing what the program is internally doing at a certain moment will be helpful. Asking for help from another person is also a good way of debugging, especially if you've been working on your code for a long time and need a fresh pair of eyes. On the other hand, changing variable names will not help because you are only renaming the problem rather than finding and fixing the problem. Computers read code line by line, so rewriting chunks of code is the same as rewriting the same problem.

For this scenario related to turtle drawing, indicate whether it is better to write a loop or a function (or a set of functions) to handle the task: Drawing a circle of any size at any point on the screen A. Loop B. Function(s)

Parameters are useful for teams of programmers because they help define the boundaries of the problem they are trying to solve. D. Parameters change the order of operations within a function.

B. Parameters allow for more flexible, generalized behaviors in functions. NOTE: Incorrect answers: Parameters can change the behavior inside a function, but the function only runs the number of times it is called and is not always based on the parameters given. Parameters can help define boundaries within the function, but is not restricted to teams of programmers. An individual programmer can used parameters as well. Once code is written, it is read line by line in order. The input of a parameter will not change the order the lines run in. Correct answer: Ultimately, parameters are great for noting specific inputs for a particular function, allowing flexible outcomes within a function. For example: say you want a function to draw some squares but with different side lengths. The function drawSquare(s) where s is the side length. The programmer can then easily call drawSquare(3); drawSquare(8); drawSquare(76); For squares of side length 3, 8, and 76 without having repetitive chunks of code in their program.

B. a:4, b:8, c:8 NOTE: Unit 5 Lesson 4 Solve this problem by going through the lines of code while keeping track of the value of each variable. It is important to note that if a variable is assigned a new value, the lines of code that reference that variable afterwards also references the new value. At the very beginning, a = 0, b = 3, c = 4 a = a + c which equals 0 + 4 = 4. Thus, variable "a" is changed to the value 4 Now, the value of "a" is set to 4 b = a + c which equals 4 + 4 = 8. Variable "b" now equals 8 c = a + c which equals 4 + 4 = 8 By the end of the program, a = 4, b = 8, and c = 8

A programmer wrote an essay for his history class, and realized he has confused the names of Benjamin Franklin and Alexander Graham Bell. Instead of going through the whole paper and changing the names, he used the following incorrect algorithm in an attempt to replace every occurrence of "Benjamin Franklin" with "Alexander Graham Bell" and vice versa. -first change the occurrences of Benjamin Franklin to Apple -then change all occurrence so topple to Alexander graham bell -then change all occurrences of Alexander Graham bell to Benjamin Franklin here is an example of one of the sentences form the paper: Alexander Graham Bell was born 141 years before Benjamin Franklin, so he was never able to telephone his neighbors. Which of the following is the result of running the described incorrect algorithm on the sentence above?

B: Benjamin Franklin was born 141 years before Benjamin Franklin, so he was never able to telephone his neighbors.

C. 2^32 times as many values can be represented. D. 32^2 times as many values can be represented.

C. 2^32 times as many values can be represented. NOTE: Every time you add a single bit to a binary number, you multiply by 2 the number of numbers you can represent. So for example, a 2-bit number can represent 4 numbers (0 - 3), and a 3-bit number can represent 8 numbers (0 - 7). So if you're going from a 32-bit to a 64-bit number, you are multiplying the number of numbers you can represent by 2, 32 times, so 2^32 is the correct answer.

What is the minimum number of bits you would need to encode the 26 letters of the alphabet plus a space - a total of 27 characters? A. 2 bits B. 3 bits C. 5 bits D. 6 bits

C. 5 bits

The function name should begin with a number that indicates the order in which it should be executed.

C. A function name should be as descriptive as possible to indicate what the function does. NOTE: The most important part of naming a function is that it describes what the function does so that the original developer and other developers can quickly and easily have an understanding of the code. With a descriptive name for the function, this helps with the readability and manageability of their code. Although some functions have identical code within them, functions should not have identical names. Note: As functions can be shifted throughout the development of a program, numbering the functions or organizing them alphabetically are not crucial in their naming conventions.

Which of the following is NOT true about functions in programming? A. Functions are reusable programming abstractions. B. Functions help reduce the complexity of writing and maintaining programs. C. Functions cannot make calls to other functions within the same program. D. Functions help break a problem into logical chunks. E. Once defined, a function can be called many times from different parts of a program.

C. Functions cannot make calls to other functions within the same program. NOTE: This is a tricky question because the correct answer effectively makes a double-negative. It is NOT true that functions CANNOT call other functions. In other words: functions can call other functions. Students should be very familiar with this fact after completing this unit since writing and calling functions from other functions is basically the primary focus. This answer refers to the fact that in defining a function you can call other functions that you have written. For example: function drawFlower(){ drawpetal(); drawpetal(); drawpetal(); drawpetal(); } Assuming that drawpetal() is some other function you wrote (and does something) this is an example of one function calling another.

Which of the following most accurately describes Moore's Law: A. Moore's Law describes a relationship of boolean logic statements involving AND and OR. B.

C. Programmers can use functions created by their partners, relying on the functionality without needing to know the specific details of how the function is implemented. NOTE: Abstraction in programming: Where the programmer makes their code more readable by hiding irrelevant material in their code. It allows an easier interaction with the program. With this in mind, when programmers work together it is imperative that one's code is easy to read at first glance. Most notably, it should be clear to every team member what a function does so the programmer does not need to explain their code multiple times. Abstraction and clean code makes team programming more efficient.

Jose is writing a reply function for a text messaging app. He'd like to swap the sender and receiver so that the value currently in variable From ends up as the value in To and To ends up in From Which of the following code segments will correctly swap the values as described? A. to = from; from = to; B. from = var temp; to = temp; from = to; C. var temp = from; from = to; to = from; D var temp = from; from = to; to = temp; E var temp = to; from = to; to = temp;

D var temp = from; from = to; to = temp; NOTE: General idea: a temporary variable must be made to contain one of the existing information before switching the variable information. Switching "to = from" and then "from = to" is incorrect because both variables would then equal "from". A "temp" variable is created and points to one value, "from" Since "from" value is stored within "temp", it is safe to write "from = to" "to" needs to point to the value of "from" BUT cannot be "to = from" because at this point, "from" stores the value of "to" Therefore, "to = temp" because "temp" holds the original value of "from" Note: It may be helpful to draw out boxes containing "Bruce Wayne" and "James Bond", and change the arrows "from", "to", and "temp" to visualize the problem. Optional: For further understanding, read up on the term "reference semantics"

What is the output to the console after the following code segment is executed? 1 var x = 10; 2 increase(); 3 x = x+3; 4 console.log(x); 5 function increase(){ 6 var x = 5; 7 } A. 5 B. 8 C. 10 D. 13 E. Error. Cannot make a new variable x inside function increase()

D. 13 NOTE: Unit 5 Lesson 5 - application of local v. global Going through each line of code: 1: A variable x is set to the value 10 2: The function "increase()" is called where a separate local variable that is also named "x" is set to the value 5 3: Exiting the function "increase()", in line 3 the value of x is still 10 because the local variable inside "increase()" is not accessible outside outside the function. Thus, in line 3, x = x + 3 which equals 10 + 3 = 13 Printing the value of x, the computer outputs "13"

What is displayed by the console.log statement after the following code segment executes? 1 var a = 3; 2 var b = 6; 3 var c = 10; 4 a = b / a; 5 b = c - a; 6 c = b / a; 7 console.log("value is: "+c); A. value is: 2 B. value is: 2.3333333 C. value is: 3 D. value is: 4 E. value is: c

D. value is: 4 NOTE: Unit 5 Lesson 4 Solve this problem by going through the lines of code while keeping track of the value of each variable. It is important to note that if a variable is assigned a new value, the lines of code that reference that variable afterwards also references the new value. At the very beginning, a = 3, b = 6, c = 10 a = b / a which equals 6 / 3 = 2. Thus, variable "a" is changed to the value 2 Now, the value of "a" is set to 2 b = c - a which equals 10 - 2 = 8. Variable "b" now equals 8 c = b / a which equals 8 / 2 = 4 By the end of the program, value of c = 4

Code can be added or removed dynamically from a function while the program is running. C. Functions can be called using different names depending on where in the program they are called. D. Two functions can be given identical names as long as their code is identical. E. Two functions in a single program can have different names but contain identical code.

E. Two functions in a single program can have different names but contain identical code. NOTE: The incorrect answers: When a program is running, the function names cannot be changing and code cannot be dynamically changed. Once a program is running, the program has to finish running or the user manually stops the program in order to edit the lines. Once a function is named, it must be called using the given name. If a function is called using a different name that does not exist, an error will occur. Functions should never have identical names. The correct answer: Multiple functions can contain identical code as long as the names are different. Functions have to be named differently in order for the program to know which function to correctly run, it does not matter if the same lines of code are in multiple functions.

Which one of the following statements about functions is true?

E: two functions in a single program can have different names but contain identical code

Explain how abstraction allows for the creation of increasingly complex systems. Reference top-down design strategy in your response.

NOTE: What to look for: A general understanding that abstraction allows programmers to hide details By hiding details, programmers are able to work with complex systems in small pieces without having to pay attention to every detail at once An explanation of how top down design implements abstraction Example: Through the use of abstraction, a programmer is able to take one large idea, and break it down into smaller pieces. In the context of top-down design, this means that the programmer can create one function that is made up of a set of smaller sub functions. After determining the details of those sub functions, the programmer no longer needs to take into account how they work, knowing that they will work in when called. For example when drawing a snowflake, the programmer may use top down design to split it into separate branches. Each of those branches may have sub functions that determine the detail to be repeated. This allows programmers to develop complex systems while managing complexity at multiple levels of abstraction.

Two students, Kaleb and Hunter, are arguing in class about an App Lab project. Kaleb states, "Huh, a button and an image are basically the same thing!". Hunter replies, "That doesn't make any sense at all!". Explain what Kaleb may have meant by that statement.

NOTE: Unit 5 Lesson 2 What to look for: A button and an image are both UI elements. Both have positions. Both can have background images. Both can respond to the same set of events. For example, if a programmer has written an event handler for when a button is clicked, she could write an analogous event handler to perform the same action when an image is clicked (or even just switch the ID of the event handler from the id of the button to the id of the image).
