What two things must be included in your function definition?

A function name and commands to be performed

What shape will be drawn with the following command? circle(50, 360, 3)

Top Down Design makes it easier to solve a problem by:

Breaking the problem down into smaller parts

How is an infinite loop created?

By using a condition that will never become false in a while loop

What is the difference between defining and calling a function?

Defining a function means you are teaching the computer a new word. Calling a function means you are commanding the computer to complete defined actions.

The setposition() command moves Tracy to a coordinate and:

Does not turn her

Which of the following is NOT a way functions make our code more readable?

Each function only contains one command

Tracy always starts facing which direction?

East

Which of the following is NOT a purpose of using functions?

Functions let you execute code a fixed number of times.

What does the number in the parentheses in a forward or backward command represent?

How far Tracy is supposed to move

If Tracy is facing right, which of the following commands can be used to turn her to face up? I. left(90) II. turn(up) III. right(-90) IV. setposition(90)

I and II

Which commands would move Tracy forward 100 pixels? I. forward(100) II. backward(-100) III. forward(-100)

I and II

Which of the following statements are true about for loops? I. By default, the range function starts at 0 II. Using for i in range(4) will result in i taking the values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 III. For loops let you repeat something any number of times IV. Statements in a for loop do not need to be indented V. It is not possible to have the range value count 6, 12, 18, 24 VI. It is not possible to have the range values count 1, 2, 4, 8, 16

I, III, VI

Which of the following does the clear command do? I. Clears the screen of any markings left by Tracy II. Turns Tracy to face right III. Sends Tracy to position (0,0)

Which of the following statements is true about control structures?

If/else statements can be used inside for loops.

Which of the statements below is true about indentation in Python?

Indentation always matters in Python. Every statement must be aligned correctly.

Which of the following is NOT a reason for loops are useful when writing code?

Loops let us make shapes of multiple sizes

The bottom of the circle

If you want three circles to be drawn next to each other, after drawing the first circle, how far would you need to move Tracy before drawing the next circle?

The circle's diameter

What is true of Tracy's color command?

The color name must be in quotation marks

When using the circle() command, what value do we put inside the parentheses?

The radius of the circle

The name 'color' cannot be used for our variable because:

The word 'color' is already used as a Tracy command

Why are parameters useful?

They allow us to tailor functions to be used in multiple situations

Why do we use if statements?

To have Tracy make decisions based on conditional statements

Why do we use while loops?

To repeat code an unknown number of times

Why do certain words change color in Python?

To show that they are recognized as key words
