OCR GCSE Computer Science Subroutines

What is a Subroutine

• a named block of code

• a section of that is transfixed

• a section of code that is vertexed

• a block of code named def

Are there two types of subroutines (for GCSE)

• True

• False

tick the name of the two subroutines we use

• Procedure

• Function

• Define

• Defitite

• Var

Procedures and Functions differ in one way

• Procedures return a value

• Functions return a vlaue

• False - they are the same

• True- the both use OOP

when creating a subroutine, what is the correct term for this?

• transfixing

• diclaring

• decomposition

• Declaring

When creating a subroutine, when we have values placed in the brackets, what is this called?

e.g. def sub1(data1, data1) :

• parameter

• argument

• var

When calling a subroutine, when we have values placed in the brackets, what is this called?

e.g sub1(data1, data1)

• parameter

• argument

• var

What is the name given to when we want to activate/run a subroutine

• declaring

• call

• tranfixing

• uploading

tick the advantages of using subroutines

• •Allows you to break the code down into chunks

• •Allows the coder to be easier to read/maintainability

• •Allows you to spot errors easier as they will be contained into the subroutines

• •Allows you to test them

• •Allows you to transfix them

tick the advantages of using subroutines

• •Allows the code to be re-used

• •Allows the coder to be easier to read/maintainability

• •Allows you to spot errors easier as they will be contained into the subroutines

• •Allows you to bitrate them

• •Allows you to transfix them
