Understanding Programming Concepts and Practices

This tutorial covers the three components of the create task: program code, video, and code selections. It provides detailed instructions on how to submit program code, create a video demonstration, and select code snippets for component C. The tutorial uses a sample baseball game program to illustrate key concepts such as using lists, procedures, and algorithms. It emphasizes the importance of originality and proper citation of third-party code. The video component must be created independently, focusing on the program's user interface and functionality. The tutorial also highlights the need to understand the code selections for the AP test.

Who is allowed to help you write the code for the Create Task?

• An online tutor

• A professional programmer

• Your collaborative partner

• Your teacher

What should you do if you include third-party or AI-generated code in your program?

• Rewrite it

• Ignore it

• Cite the code

• Delete it

What is the main purpose of using a list in a program?

• To make the code look longer

• To manage program complexity and fulfill the program's purpose

• To store data in a single variable

• To avoid using loops

In the sample program, what does the 'how many runs' procedure do?
