What code can replace missing code to assign the total of all values in purchaseList to sum?
III only
3.9 AP-Style MC Practice: A program is used to print name tags for guests at an event. Unfortunately for each guest it prints the last name before the first name when the opposite is desired. The procedure for printing the name tags uses the variables FN for the first name and LN for last name. Which of the following code segments, inserted in the correct place in the procedure will cause the program to print the name tags in the desired way?
Temp ← LN LN ← FN FN ← Temp
3.8 AP-Style MC Practice: The code below and accompanying table will output a number which represents which of the following:
The average of grades above 79.
Unit 3, Quiz 1: A city engineer is tasked with studying vehicular traffic patterns throughout a large metropolitan area. He designs a number of small, remote devices that can be installed along streets throughout the city to sense and record the hundreds of cars that pass through each of the city's five busiest intersections during a 24-hour period. Every time a car trips the sensor in a device, it increments an internal, 5-bit counter that stores the number of cars that have passed through the intersection since the counter was last reset. Every 24 hours, each device transmits the 5-bit value stored in its counter back to a central server that collects the daily data from all of the devices throughout the city. After transmitting, the counter in each device is reset back to 0. Fortunately, the engineer's supervisor points out a flaw in the device's design and orders that the engineer modify the design specifications for this device before building and installing the sensors. Which of the following is most likely the design flaw in this scenario?
The counter is not capable of counting hundreds of cars without exceeding the limit of the five bits of storage.
3.1 AP-Style MC Practice: Which of the following can be represented by a single binary digit?
The direction of travel for an elevator
Big Picture: Reselling Digital Music - AP-Style MC Practice: As movies and music have moved into the digital world, the legal protections that relate to them have had to continually evolve. Which of the following best describes how the legal landscape regarding the digital movies and music has changed?
The music and movie industries have chosen to protect their copyrights by filing lawsuits against people who share digital files without permission.
3.7 AP-Style MC Practice: If our list called List is populated as [0, 1, 2, 3, 4], what happens if our code tries to access List [5] per the rules of the AP Computer Science Principles Reference Guide?
The output will be 4
Unit 3, Quiz 1: Which statements below are true about fixed and variable width encoding? Select two answers.
Variable width encoding must use extra bits to specify where characters start/end. Fixed width encodings are typically longer than variable width encodings.
3.1 AP-Style MC Practice: Which of the following questions cannot be easily answered using a binary set of answers?
Which is the best song new song from last year?
3.10 AP-Style MC Practice: Based on the code below, what would be the best phrase to replace missing output?
You have an even amount of items in your list!
3.10 AP-Style MC Practice: A programmer has two lists of random words, list1 and list2. He has written a program that is intended to create a list, finalList, of all the words found in list1 and list2 in alphabetical order with no repeated words. His program makes use of the following procedures: Alphabetize(list) Returns a list that contains the elements of list in alphabetical order. Join (list 1, list2) Returns a list with the elements of list1 followed by the elements of list2 RemoveDuplicates (list) Returns a list with the same elements in the same order as list, but with any duplicate elements removed. The programmer's program is as follows:
finalList, will contain all the words found in list1 and list2 in alphabetical order, but it may contain repeated words.
3.9 AP-Style MC Practice: A teacher uses the following program to adjust student grades on an assignment by adding 5 points to each student's original grade. However, if adding 5 points to a student's original grade causes the grade to exceed 100 points, the student will receive the maximum possible score of 100 points. The students' original grades are stored in the list gradeList, which is indexed from 1 to n.
first choice: gradeList [i] ← gradeList[i] + 5 IF (gradeList [i] > 100) { gradeList [i] ← 100 } second choice: gradeList [i] ← min (gradeList[i] + 5, 100)
3.10 AP-Style MC Practice: While running this code segment, the user enters the following values when prompted: pizza yes bread no. What is stored in the list called grocery after the block of code is executed?
milk, bread, pizza, eggs, cheese
3.9 AP-Style MC Practice: Sometimes we care about the order of a list, and need to reorder the items according to a condition (alphabetical, numerical, etc). An algorithm finds the minimum value in the list and swaps it with the value in the first position, then repeats these steps for the remainder of the list, swapping with the second position, then the third position and so forth. What type of sorting is this?
selection
Unit 3, Quiz 1: There is a base 6 number system that uses symbols instead of numerals to represent different values. Below is the symbol that represents each numeral. ⤲ = 0 ↺ = 1 ➣ = 2 ⬳ = 3 ⤴ = 4 ⇶ = 5 Which of the following numbers written using this base 6 number system is equivalent to the base 10 number 147?
