Function Farm Quiz

What is the primary purpose of a function in programming?

• To store data permanently

• To package commands for later use

• To display output to the user

• To execute commands immediately

Why is it important to define a function before using it?

• To ensure it runs faster

• To save memory

• To avoid syntax errors

• To make sure it is recognized by the program

What happens when you pass an argument to a function's parameter?

• The function stops executing

• The argument is stored as a variable

• The parameter is replaced by the argument

• The argument is ignored

In the 'go to' function example, what does the parameter 'a' represent?

• A command

• A built-in function

• A fixed value

• An argument passed during the function call

What is the role of the 'turn to' command in the 'go to' function?

• To direct the mouse to a specific location

• To change the function's parameter

• To execute a built-in function

• To stop the function

How do built-in functions differ from user-defined functions?

• Built-in functions require arguments

• User-defined functions cannot have parameters

• Built-in functions are pre-defined and may not require arguments

• User-defined functions are faster

Why do some functions have empty parentheses?

• They are optional

• They indicate no arguments are needed

• They are used for decoration

• They are placeholders for future arguments

In the advanced example, what is the purpose of the 'collect' function?

• To store matches in a list

• To define a new parameter

• To call the 'go to' function for each match

• To create a loop

What does the 'for loop' do in the advanced example?

• It creates a new function

• It stops the function after one iteration

• It iterates over each match to perform actions

• It repeats the same action indefinitely

Why is the 'step negative 10' command considered a problem in the advanced example?

• It is a syntax error

• It is unnecessary for reaching the pile

• It moves the mouse in the wrong direction

• It causes the function to crash
