What three surprising things did Ethic experience upon emerging from stasis?

• A prison cell, complete amnesia, and a mysterious stranger.

• A new identity, a hidden treasure, and a secret mission.

• A time machine, a talking animal, and a magical artifact.

How many different positions can the dial of each prison lock be set to?

• 50

• 75

• 100

• 200

How does a prison lock indicate the correct position for unlocking?

• The dial makes a clicking sound.

• The dial turns green.

• The dial vibrates rapidly.

• The dial emits a bright light.

Which type of instruction is Hedge able to process?

• Vague commands like "pick the lock."

• General requests like "try every combination."

• Emotional pleas for help.

• Specific instructions like "spin the dial 5x forward."

Which of the following is an instruction Hedge can process?

• Spin the dial.

• Guess the number.

• Break the lock.

• Call for help.

What programming concept involves one or more instructions that are iterated or repeated a specified number of times?

• Loop

• Function

• Variable

• Conditional

What type of loop is used when a set of instructions needs to be repeated a specified number of times?

• A "while loop"

• A "repeat X times" loop

• An "if-else" statement

• A "do-while" loop

What type of loop is used when a set of instructions needs to be repeated until a specific condition is met?

• A "repeat until" loop

• A "for each" loop

• A "goto" statement

• A "switch" statement

What is a "for loop" in programming?

• A loop that executes only once.

• A loop that continues indefinitely.

• A loop that requires manual intervention to stop.

• A loop where the number of repetitions is specified.

What is a "while loop" in programming?

• A loop that executes a fixed number of times.

• A loop that continues to execute as long as a certain condition remains true.

• A loop that executes at least once, then checks a condition.

• A loop that is used for iterating over collections.
