Program Patterns

When thinking about computers, what is meant by the word "program"?

• A task you have to practice before a show.

• A set of code to give to a computer to accomplish a task.

• A show you can watch on a computer.

• It's another word for performance.

What is a conditional statement?

• A programing element that blocks certain codes from the computer.

• A programing element that creates a choice of programs,

• A programing element that displays a character on the screen.

• A programing element that directs which code runs.

What is an algorithm?

• A set of questions you have to answer.

• A set of instructions to accomplish a task.

• A math program for older students.

• A list of things you need to program a computer.

When thinking about computer programing, what is meant by the word "function"?

• A named code block that accomplishes a task.

• A set of coded instructions.

• What the code tells the computer to do.

• The information you need to make a code.

If the code you program doesn't work as expected, what do you do?

• You close the program and restart it.

• You ask your teacher to help.

• You must "debug" the program.

• You restart your computer or tablet.

When thinking about programing computers, what is meant by a "bug"?

• The word we use when an insect has infested the computer

• The word we use to say the program isn't working correctly.

• The word we use when we need to call tech support.

• The word we use to describe the best programs to you when studying insects.

What happens when you program loops into blocks of code?

• The coded action makes the Sprite spin.

• The coded action makes everything stop and start from the beginning of the program.

• The coded action allows the Sprite to dance.

• The coded action repeats.

What is meant by the word "sequence"?

• To put everything in reverse order.

• The section of code that actually makes the avatar dance.

• The order which things happen.

• The end, the middle and the beginning of a code.

A computer can actually think for itself.

• True

• False

What is computer science?

• The study of robots and robotics.

• The study of how to build computers.

• The study of "smart" devices and how they work.

• The study of computers, apps, games and software and programs.
