RobotC Part 1

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 these

The role of the robot is to carry out the plan by following the steps in the program.

• True
• False

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

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 

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 one of a paired punctuation such as parentheses is missing:

• The robot will assume that it is there and continue running
• The program will not compile and the programmer will see an error message
• The program will bypass that statement
• The program will delete the paired punctuation that is not missing

A single line comment begins with:

• A single slash (/)
• Two slashes (//)
• A slash and asterisk (/*)
• An asterisk and a slask (*/)

Pick the true statement:

• Paired punctuation are interchangable
• As long as there are two brackets of any kind in a pair, the program will work
• Curly braces surround what the robot will run as part of the main program, or task
• Motor command must use parentheses and wait for commands must use square brackets
