Lesson 1

What is the main purpose of the Microsoft MakeCode Editor?

• To design graphics

• To program the micro:bit

• To create music

• To play games

Which programming method is mentioned for use in the MakeCode Editor?

• Handwriting

• Voice commands

• Drag-and-drop

• Typing code

Which category must be selected to access the [show string] block?

• Control

• Input

• Math

• Basic

What is the purpose of the [show string] block in this programming project?

• To create a random number.

• To wait for user input.

• To execute the program continuously.

• To display a text message on the micro:bit.

What happens to the orange LED on the back of the micro:bit during the code transfer?

• It turns off.

• It changes color.

• It remains steady.

• It flashes.

What does the [on start] block of code accomplish?

• It shows the string 'Hello!' repeatedly.

• It runs once when the program starts.

• It stops the program from running.

• It shows the heart icons continuously.

Why does the string 'Hello!' only display once while the heart icons loop continuously?

• The [on start] block executes only a single time.

• There is an error in the code preventing repetition.

• The icons have a loop condition preventing the string from repeating.

• The string is part of the [forever] loop.

Which part of the code would cause the heart icons to be displayed repeatedly?

• show icon (Small Heart)

• on start

• forever

• show string 'Hello!'

What kind of programming structure is used in the provided code?

• Procedural Programming

• Functional Programming

• Graphical Programming Language

• Linear Programming

Which block would you use to display a number from 0 to 9?
