What is the proper format for a single line comment in Karel? # This is a comment // This is a comment /* This is a comment This is a comment
# This is a comment
Say Karel is on a location with one tennis ball. After the following code runs, how many tennis balls will there be at that location? for i in range(3): if balls_present(): take_ball() else: put_ball() put_ball() 0 1 2 6
1
How many total times will Karel move in this program? move() for i in range(5): move() put_ball() 1 5 6 7
6
What is wrong with this for loop? for i in range = 5; move() A. The for loop uses a semicolon(;) instead of colon(:) B. It should say range(5) instead of range = 5 A B A and B The for loop is correct
A and B
Say you want to write a program to have Karel put down 300 tennis balls. Which control structure would you use? If statement While loop For loop Nested while loop
For loop
In the following code, what would be a good Postcondition to write? """ Precondition: Karel is on a spot with a tennis ball facing East * Postcondition: ... """ def get_on_top(): turn_left() move() turn_right() Karel is on a spot with a tennis ball facing north Karel ends one spot above a tennis ball facing East. Karel is on the same position but on top of a ball. Karel is facing East.
Karel ends one spot above a tennis ball facing East.
What does the mystery function do? def mystery(): while no_balls_present(): move() Karel moves until it is on a ball Karel moves once if there is no ball present Karel moves until it puts down a ball Karel checks if there is no ball on the current spot and then moves once
Karel moves until it is on a ball
How can we teach Karel new commands? For loop While loop Define a new function The main function
Define a new function
Why do we use functions in Karel programs? Break down our program into smaller parts Avoid repeating code Make our program more readable All of the above
All of the above
Why does a programmer indent their code? Helps show the structure of the code. Easier for other people to understand. In Python, it is used to help determine what parts of a code are included in a code block, such as an if statement or for loop. All of the above
All of the above
In this code, how many times is the dance function called and how many times is it defined? def dance(): turn_left() move() turn_left() turn_left() move() turn_left() move() dance() move() move() turn_left() dance() dance() Called 1 time, defined 1 time Called 1 time, defined 3 times Called 3 times, defined 1 time Called 3 times, defined 3 times
Called 3 times, defined 1 time
Super Karel starts at Street 1, Avenue 1, facing East in a 5x5 world. What will happen after this code runs? move() move() turn_right() move() Karel ends on street 1, avenue 3 Karel ends on street 2, avenue 3 This code won't run because of a syntax error Karel will crash into a wall
Karel will crash into a wall
If Karel starts at Street 1 and Avenue 1, facing East, where will Karel be, and what direction will Karel be facing after running the following code? (Assume the world is 10x10 in size) move() turn_left() put_ball() turn_left() turn_left() turn_left() move() turn_left() Street 3, Avenue 1, Facing North Street 1, Avenue 4, Facing North Street 1, Avenue 3, Facing South Street 1, Avenue 3, Facing North
Street 1, Avenue 3, Facing North
What makes the following command an invalid Karel command? turn_Left() It should end in semicolon The L should be a lower l It should start with a capital T This command is correct
The L should be a lower l
What's wrong with this code? def go(): move() move() def go(): move() move() move() go() go() The go function is called twice The go function has a syntax error The go function has been defined twice go is not a command that Karel understands
The go function has been defined twice
Karel starts at Street 1, Avenue 1, facing East in a 5x5 world. What will happen after this code runs? move() putball() move() move() move() move() move() Karel will end on Street 1, Avenue 2 Karel will end on Street 1, Avenue 7 This code won't run because of a syntax error Karel will crash into a wall
This code won't run because of a syntax error
How can we improve the following program? move() move() move() move() move() move() move() move() move() Break down this program into more functions Use a for loop to repeat the move command Use a while loop to repeat the move command Fix the indentation of this program
Use a for loop to repeat the move command
In the following code below from the Cleanup Karel example, what is the purpose of If Statement #2? # This program has Karel walk down the # row and clean up all of the tennis balls # on the way. while front_is_clear(): # If statement #1 if balls_present(): take_ball() move() // If statement #2 if balls_present(): take_ball() To move the last time To pick up the ball that is in the last spot To pick up the ball that is in the last spot, if there is one To take the ball from all of the positions that have a ball on them
To pick up the ball that is in the last spot, if there is one
What is the purpose of using a for loop in code? To do something if a condition is true To do something while a condition is true To repeat something a fixed number of times To make programs run faster
To repeat something a fixed number of times
What is top down design? Top down design is a way of designing your program by starting with the biggest problem and breaking it down into smaller and smaller pieces that are easier to solve. Top down design is a way that you can create designs on a computer to put on a web page Top down design is a way of designing your programs starting with the individual commands first Top down design is a way to use loops and if statements to decompose the problem
Top down design is a way of designing your program by starting with the biggest problem and breaking it down into smaller and smaller pieces that are easier to solve.
Which of the following is the correct way to define a turn_right function in Karel? def turn_right(): turn_left() turn_left() turn_left() def turn_right(): turn_right() turn_right() turn_right() def turn_right: turn_left() turn_left() turn_left() function turn_right(): turn_left() turn_left() turn_left()
def turn_right(): turn_left() turn_left() turn_left()
Which of the following commands is a valid Karel command? move move; move() move();
