Here's the code that was executed from one user's session: APPEND(bestGames, "Dixit") APPEND(bestGames, "Codenames") APPEND(bestGames, "Mysterium") APPEND(bestGames, "Scrabble") APPEND(bestGames, "Catchphrase") APPEND(bestGames, "Lost Cities") INSERT(bestGames, 2, "Carcassonne") REMOVE(bestGames, 4) What does the bestGames variable store after that code runs?

"Dixit", "Carcassonne", "Codenames", "Scrabble", "Catchphrase", "Lost Cities"

A software engineer uses this nested conditional for the online mapping software they're building. IF (lat > 38 AND lng < -134) { direction ← "NW" } ELSE { IF (lat > 38 AND lng > -134) { direction ← "NE" } ELSE { IF (lat < 38 AND lng < -134) { direction ← "SW" } ELSE { IF (lat < 38 AND lng > -134) { direction ← "SE" } } } } When lat is 37.5 and lng is -131.2, what will be the value of direction?

"SE"

Marius is writing a program that calculates physics formulas. His procedure calcGravForce should return the gravitational force between two objects at a certain radius from each other, based on this formula: F = G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}F=Gr2m1​m2​​F, equals, G, start fraction, m, start subscript, 1, end subscript, m, start subscript, 2, end subscript, divided by, r, squared, end fraction \,\,1PROCEDURE calcGravForce (mass1, mass2, radius)2{3\,\,\,\,G ← 6.674 * POWER(10, −11)4\,\,\,\,masses ← mass1 * mass25\,\,\,\,force ← G * ( masses / POWER(radius, 2) )6} The procedure is missing a return statement, however. Part 1: Which line of code should the return statement be placed after? Part 2: Which of these return statements is the best for this procedure?

After line 5 RETURN force

This program simulates two players rolling dice to determine the start player for a game. Once a player rolls a die higher in value than the other player, that player starts the game. 1: startPlayer ← 0 2: REPEAT UNTIL (startPlayer ≠ 0) 3: { 4: player1Roll ← RANDOM(1, 6) 5: player2Roll ← RANDOM(1, 6) 6: IF (player1Roll > player2Roll) 7: { 8: DISPLAY("Player 1 starts") 9: } 10: ELSE IF (player2Roll > player1Roll) 11: { 12: DISPLAY("Player 2 starts") 13: } 14: ELSE 15: { 16: DISPLAY("Roll again") 17: } 18: } Unfortunately, this code is incorrect; the REPEAT UNTIL loop never stops repeating. Where would you add code so that the game starts when expected? 👁️Note that there are 2 answers to this question.

Lilia is looking through her friend's code and sees a procedure called pacifyName: PROCEDURE pacifyName(fullName) { heartified ← REPLACE(fullName, " ", "♥") florified ← REPLACE(heartified, "o", "❀") RETURN LOWER(florified) } That procedure manipulates strings using two built-in procedures: ProcedureDescriptionREPLACE(string, old, new)Returns string with all instances of old replaced by new.LOWER(string)Returns lowercase version of string. Lilia then decides to try out the procedure on her own name: pacifyName("Lilia Potter") After that line of code runs, what will be displayed on the screen?

Nothing will be displayed

Wynter is working on an app for learning fractions. His program uses the following procedure for string concatenation: PseudocodeDescriptionconcatenate(string1, string2)Concatenates (joins) two strings to each other, returning the combined string. These variables are at the start of the program: denom ← "third" num1 ← "one" num2 ← "two" Which line of code would store the string "one-third"?

frac ← concatenate(concatenate(num1, "-"), denom)

The following procedure calculates the slope of a line and takes 4 numeric parameters: the x coordinate of the first point, the y coordinate of the first point, the x coordinate of the second point, and the y coordinate of the second point. PROCEDURE lineSlope (x1, y1, x2, y2) { result ← (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) DISPLAY (result) } This graph contains a line with unknown slope, going through the points [1, 3][1,3]open bracket, 1, comma, 3, close bracket and [5, 2][5,2]open bracket, 5, comma, 2, close bracket: \small{1}1\small{2}2\small{3}3\small{4}4\small{5}5\small{1}1\small{2}2\small{3}3\small{4}4yyxx Graph with line going through 2 marked points [1, 3] and [5, 2]. Which of these lines of code correctly calls the procedure to calculate the slope of this line?
