Grade 5 Coding Quiz

What is a variable in coding?

• A form of transportation

• A type of insect

• A type of food

• A placeholder for storing data

What are the different data types in coding?

• integer, float, string, boolean, array

• dog, cat, bird, fish, rabbit

• apple, banana, cherry, grape, watermelon

• red, blue, green, yellow, orange

What is the purpose of conditional statements in coding?

• To make the code more confusing

• To slow down the execution of the code

• To make decisions in the code based on certain conditions

• To add unnecessary complexity to the code

What is the purpose of loops and iteration in coding?

• To change the color of the text

• To play music in the background

• To repeat a set of instructions or a block of code multiple times.

• To make the code look more interesting

Explain the difference between 'for' and 'while' loops in coding.

• The 'for' loop is used when the number of iterations is not known, while the 'while' loop is used when the number of iterations is known.

• The 'for' loop is used when the condition is met, while the 'while' loop is used when the number of iterations is known.

• The 'for' loop is used when the number of iterations is known, while the 'while' loop is used when the condition is met.

• The 'for' loop is used when the number of iterations is known, while the 'while' loop is used when the number of iterations is not known but a condition is met.

What are functions and procedures in coding?

• Functions and procedures are only used in advanced coding languages

• Functions and procedures are blocks of code that can be called and executed to perform a specific task.

• Functions and procedures are types of variables in coding

• Functions and procedures are used for creating graphics in coding

How are functions and procedures different from each other?

• Functions return a value, while procedures do not.

• Functions do not have parameters, while procedures do.

• Functions and procedures are the same thing.

• Functions cannot be called multiple times, while procedures can.

What is debugging in coding?

• Deleting the entire program

• Identifying and fixing errors or bugs in the program

• Ignoring errors and running the program anyway

• Writing new code without checking for errors

Name two common troubleshooting techniques in coding.

• Googling the error message

• Taking a break and coming back to it later

• Asking a friend for help

• Debugging and using print statements

Explain the difference between 'if' and 'else if' statements in coding.

• The 'if' statement is used to check a single condition, while the 'else if' statement is used to check multiple conditions.

• The 'if' statement is used to check multiple conditions, while the 'else if' statement is used to check a single condition.

• The 'if' statement is used to check a condition, while the 'else if' statement is used to execute a block of code if the condition is not met.

• The 'if' statement is used to execute a block of code if a condition is met, while the 'else if' statement is used to check multiple conditions.
