• True

• False

True or False: Functions must be created and then run separately.

• True

• False

Separating behaviors into different functions allows your code to follow your planning more easily (one function per behavior or even sub-behavior).

• True

• False

True or False: Through the use of ____________, multiple related (but not identical) tasks can be handled with a single, intuitive function.

• semicolons

• curly brackets

• parameters

• ()

• {curly braces}

• ;

Once you ________ your function, it acts like a new command in the language of ROBOTC. To run the function, simply “call” it by name

• declare
