• 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 code.

• ROBOTC recognizes the command as a keyword.

• It is highlighted so it stands out to the programmer.

If one of the [aired punctuation such as parentheses is missing:

• The robot will assume that it is there and continues running.

• The program will not complete and the programmer will see an error message.

• The program will bypass that statement.

• The program will delete the other punctuation and finish the sequence

Select the true statement.

• Paired punctuation are interchangeable, i.e. You can replace a pair of square brackets with a pair of curly braces.

• 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 commands must use parentheses and wait for commands must use square brackets.

A simple statement may affect the order that statements are run, allowing the program to skip or repeat commands as needed.

• true

• false

The purpose of "White Space" 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 finds 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 over.

A simple statement is:

• a statement that never used words with more than two syllables.

• a line of code, irrespective of spelling.

• a line of code irrespective of punctuation.

• a line of code including all appropriate words, numbers, and punctuation.

All programs must end with a "Stop" command.

• true

• false

What is a programming language

• only ROBOTC
