Understanding Function Definitions in Programming

The video tutorial explains how Carol, a programming character, cannot turn right using basic commands. To solve this, the concept of functions is introduced, allowing Carol to learn new commands. The tutorial demonstrates how to define a function for turning right by using the existing 'turn left' command three times. It provides a practical example of implementing and executing this function, showing how Carol can be taught to turn right effectively.

What is the main limitation of Carol discussed in the video?

• Carol can't pick up balls

• Carol can't move forward

• Carol can't turn left

• Carol can't turn right

How can Carol be made to face east if she is initially facing north?

• By moving forward

• By turning left once

• By turning left three times

• By turning right once

What is a function in the context of Carol's programming?

• A way to teach Carol new commands

• A way to pick up balls

• A way to move Carol forward

• A way to turn Carol left

What is the term used for the instructions inside a function?

• Function body

• Function name

• Function tail

• Function header

What is the correct syntax to define a function named 'turn right'?

• function turnRight{} ()

• function turnRight() []

• function turnRight[] {}

• function turnRight() {}

What is the purpose of the curly braces in a function definition?

• To call the function

• To end the function

• To enclose the function body

• To name the function

What is the first step in teaching Carol a new command?

• Naming the function

• Writing the function body

• Testing the function

• Calling the function

What command does Carol execute to turn right after defining the function?

• move()

• pickBall()

• turnLeft()

• turnRight()

What happens if you try to use 'turn right' without defining it first?

• Carol turns left

• Carol turns right

• An error occurs

• Nothing happens

What does Carol do when she encounters the 'turn right' command after it has been defined?

• Moves forward

• Executes the function body

• Turns left once

• Ignores it
