VEX Video Trainer Intro to Programming

A program is...

• A logical and step-by-step set of directions for the robot to follow.

• A logical and step-by-step set of directions for the programmer to follow.

• A set of directions, written in paragraph form, that even a robot can follow.

• None of the above

What is a programming language?

• Only ROBOTC

• A method for the robot to communicate with the programmer

• A program that allows the robot to think for itself

• A language that lets the programmer communicate a plan to the robot

Pseudocode is:

• False code

• A code, written in English, that the robot can understand

• A code, written in binary language, that the robot can understand

• A set of basic steps that the human can use to plan the program

________ are a convenient way to talk about what the robot is doing and what it must do to carry out the plan created by the programmer.

• Operations

• Actions

• Behaviors

• Instructions

Simple behaviors are made up of complex behaviors.

• True

• False

Which one of these representations of Task Main will work in ROBOTC?

• Task main ()

• task main ()

• Taskmain ()

• task main;

• all of them

What does it mean when a command appears in color when typed in ROBOTC?

• The command is typed incorrectly.

• The command is not allowed in the command.

• ROBOTC recognizes the command as an important keyword.

• It is highlighted so the programmer should look at the word or name carefully.

All programs must end with a ‘Stop’ command.

• True

• False

The purpose of ‘whitespace’ is:

• To allow the robot to understand the program better

• To make the program more readable to the programmer

• To speed the operation of the robot

• To slow the operation of the robot

If there are no more statements to run in the program:

• The robot will stop.

• The robot will continue its last statement until it can find another statement.

• The robot will continue its last statement until it can find the Stop command.

• The robot will go back to the beginning of the program and start all over.
