Programming your new robot

Python is one of the languages your new bot will understand. So like the work you have done in Ozaria, you can solve problems or complete challenges easily.
You can use pseudocode and flowcharts like we have talked about previously to break down problems into pieces.

Multiple Choice

Look at the image. Do you think it is a flowchart?

• Yes, it is a flowchart because it has boxes connected by arrows.

• No, it is not a flowchart because it has pictures and words but no arrows.

• Yes, it is a flowchart because it has lots of colours.

• No, it is not a flowchart because there are no boxes or steps.

Multiple Choice

Based on this flowchart, what do the outcome would be?

• The Microbit will display "Hello" and a happy face when it starts up.

• The Microbit will only display "Hello" when the A button is pressed.

• The Microbit will display "Hello" and then a happy face when the A button is pressed.

• The Microbit will display a happy face when it starts up.

Open Ended

Explain in you own words, could you tell me the outcome of the flowchart?

​The flowchart can be written this way in Microbit Python

Multiple Choice

Base on this flowchart, can you guess the outcome?

• The Microbit will instantly display "Diamonds", a large diamond, and a small diamond when turned on.

• The Microbit will only display "Diamonds" when the A button is pressed.

• The Microbit will display "Diamonds", then after a delay of 1 second, a large diamond, and then after another delay of 1 second, a small diamond, but only when the A button is pressed.

• The Microbit will continuously cycle between displaying "Diamonds", a large diamond, and a small diamond.
