About

This quiz covers fundamental programming concepts from AP Computer Science Principles, specifically focusing on Unit 2 topics that include variables, conditional statements, loops, and basic programming logic. The questions are designed for high school students in grades 11-12 who are taking an Advanced Placement computer science course. Students need to understand variable tracking and boundary conditions in programming, as demonstrated through the elevator simulation problem. They must comprehend conditional logic structures and be able to trace through if-else statements to predict program output. The quiz assesses students' ability to analyze loop behavior, including identifying conditions that create infinite loops and predicting the results of iterative processes. Additionally, students need knowledge of proper variable naming conventions, understanding of mathematical operations in programming syntax, and awareness of intellectual property and licensing issues related to code reuse. Created by Scott, a Computer teacher in the US who teaches grades 9-12. This comprehensive review quiz serves multiple instructional purposes in the AP Computer Science Principles classroom, functioning effectively as a formative assessment tool to gauge student understanding before a unit exam or as targeted practice for students who need reinforcement of core programming concepts. Teachers can deploy this quiz as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge, assign it as homework to extend learning beyond the classroom, or use it during review sessions to identify areas where students need additional support. The quiz aligns with College Board's AP Computer Science Principles curriculum requirements, particularly addressing Learning Objectives AAP-1.A (representing algorithms with variables), AAP-2.F (expressing conditional logic), and AAP-2.K (expressing iteration in programs), while also incorporating essential topics like IOC-1.F regarding intellectual property in computing that are fundamental to the AP CSP framework.

A large office building has an elevator that carries occupants between any of the building's 10 floors. The basement is referred to as "Level 0" while the topmost floor is "Level 9." The software for the elevator uses a variable, called level, to track the floor number of the elevator's current position. When a person presses a button requesting the elevator to rise to a higher floor, the above code is executed.


What is displayed if the elevator is currently on the 7th floor (level = 7) and the person on the elevator presses a button that says to go up 3 floors (floors = 3)?

Level 7 Level 8 Level 9

Level 8 Level 9 Cannot go up. Level 9

Level 8 Level 9 Level 10

Cannot go up.

While developing a program, you find a similar project that someone has created and posted online. It contains a number of elements (e.g., images, music, code segments, etc.) that you would like to integrate into your own project. Under what conditions may you reuse these elements in your work?

You may never reuse someone else’s work.

You may reuse any elements that are posted publicly online as long as credit is given to their creator.

You may only reuse elements for which the original owner has granted a license to reuse, such as the Creative Commons Share Alike license.

You may always reuse anything that is posted publicly or privately online.
