CTE Gaming #3 (37-51)

The marvelous attribute about the gaming industry is that you can create a game in several different programming languages to make it more appealing to novice and advanced-level coders. Yet, the unique distinction is that every single programming language has its own ____________?

• structure

• commands

• syntax

• language

Question :

Patricia completed the animation for her game character and is looking to program an efficient algorithm for the character's movement and interaction with another element. Consider the code below:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Repeat move forward 5 steps

If not touching Sprite 2, then

Move 5 steps

Else, say "You Loose" for 3 seconds

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which programming structure is displayed in Patricia's game?

• Iteration and selection

• Iteration and sequential

• Selection only

• Sequential and selection

Alexandra wants to create a math game in which users have to correctly answer mathematical problems. She wants the game to solve a randomly created problem and then indicate if the player's answers are correct or incorrect. How is Alexandra getting the program to solve mathematical problems?

• She seeks the assistance of a programmer to help her code the program.

• She is writing an algorithm for computers to follow a series of step-by-step instructions to solve equations.

• She is writing the correct syntax computers need to follow to execute a solution.

• She is writing pseudocode so computer can solve problems.

Allison has been asked to create an algorithm that can be used to calculate the area of a rectangle. Review the following algorithm:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 1: Measure the length of the rectangle and store result as length.

Step 2: Measure the width of the rectangle and store result as width.

Step 3:

Step 4: Display area of the rectangle.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which task would Allison's algorithm need to perform in Step 3?

• Multiply length by width.

• Subtract length from width.

• Divide length by width.

• Add length and width.

In order to write a successful algorithm, you must first be able to:

• use logic to plan a solution.

• solve the problem manually.

• code a sequential structure.

• create a plan to execute a solution.

Which two types of programming structures are included in this example?

• Sequential and object-oriented

• Sequential and looping

• Looping and selection

• Object-oriented and looping

This is an example of which type of programming structure?

• Selection

• Looping

• Iteration

• Object

Which of the following scenarios would cause an error?

• Zero students in class

• Three students in class

• Ten students in class

• No error would occur

Which option displays the problem-solving steps in the correct order?

• 4, 1, 3, 2

• 1, 3, 2, 4

• 2, 4, 1, 3

• 1, 4, 3, 2

Which problem is this algorithm used to solve?

• Determine what the listed numbers are.

• Determine the total of the listed numbers.

• Determine the percentage of the listed numbers.

• Determine the average of the listed numbers.
