Think Like a Coder, Ep. 4-Plotting the Train Heist Adventure

What is the primary objective of Ethic and Adila?

• To steal the heavily fortified train.

• To disable the train's engine.

• To steal the artifact called the Node of Power.

• To provide supplies to settlements and facilities.

What is the purpose of the heavily fortified train?

• To transport military personnel.

• To provide supplies to settlements and facilities.

• To serve as a mobile command center.

• To guard the Node of Power.

What information is displayed on the screen within the train's engine car?

• The train's speed and direction.

• The train's unloading procedure.

• The location of the Node of Power.

• The remaining fuel for the train.

How are the train's movements interpreted on the engine car's display?

• Right arrow means moving one car length backward, left arrow means moving one car length forward.

• Right arrow means moving one car length forward, left arrow means moving one car length backward.

• Both arrows indicate the train is stationary.

• Arrows indicate the train's speed, not direction.

What happens when the button in the engine car is pressed?

• The train stops immediately.

• The force field over the artifact is lowered for 10 seconds.

• The train changes direction.

• An alarm is triggered.

Why is Hedge the only one who can enter the engine car?

• He is the only one with the access code.

• He is the only one small enough to fit.

• He is the only one who understands the train's controls.

• He is the only one who can withstand the heat inside.

At the start of the operation, how far is the artifact from the car directly under the crane?

• 5 positions behind.

• 10 positions behind.

• 10 positions in front.

• Directly under the crane.

What programming concept is suggested to track the train's position relative to the artifact?

• Using a conditional statement.

• Using a loop.

• Using a variable.

• Using basic arithmetic.

If the car with the Node of Power is designated as position 0, and the crane starts at position 10, how should Hedge update the position variable based on train movements?

• Subtract 1 for a forward movement, add 1 for a backward movement.

• Add 1 for a forward movement, subtract 1 for a backward movement.

• Always add 1 regardless of direction.

• Always subtract 1 regardless of direction.

What is the final instruction Hedge should execute to successfully lower the force field?

• Press the button when the train's position variable is 10.

• Press the button when the train's position variable is 1.

• Press the button when the train's position variable is 0.

• Press the button after the train has completed all movements.
