    • 2

    • 3

    • 4

    • 5

    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    The program prints out the number 3.

    At the end of the Sugar Squash game a player had gained the following sweets choco=9; minto = 3; chews=5; sherbet=0The game applies this algorithm to award the score - read the program carefully.Use logic & paper & pencil to work out which of these are true - ProProfs

    At the end of the Sugar Squash game a player had gained the following sweets choco=9; minto = 3; chews=5; sherbet=0The game applies this algorithm to award the score - read the program carefully.Use logic & paper & pencil to work out which of these are true

    • Choco < minto

    • (chews+minto) < ( choco - sherbet)

    • Sherbet > chews

    • Chews + sherbert = 7

    Correct Answer
    A. (chews+minto) < ( choco - sherbet)
    Explanation
    In order to determine if the statement is true, we need to substitute the given values into the equation and evaluate it.

    Given: choco = 9, minto = 3, chews = 5, sherbet = 0

    Substituting the values into the equation, we get:

    (5 + 3) < (9 - 0)
    8 < 9

    Since 8 is indeed less than 9, the statement is true.

    Computer programming is an important aspect of computer science.Which of these are true?

    • Algorithm -> specification -> product -> programming

    • Algorithm -> specification -> programming -> product

    • Specification -> algorithm -> programming -> product

    • Specification -> programming -> algorithm -> product

    Correct Answer
    A. Specification -> algorithm -> programming -> product
    Explanation
    This answer is correct because it follows the logical order of steps in the process of computer programming. First, a specification is created to outline the desired outcome or requirements of the program. Then, an algorithm is developed to determine the step-by-step instructions for achieving the desired outcome. Next, the programming phase takes place where the algorithm is translated into a programming language and implemented. Finally, the end result is the product, which is the functioning program.

    • 10 then -3 then 7

    • 10 then 7 then 4 then 1

    • 10 then 7 then 7 then 7

    • 10 then 3 then 0

    Correct Answer
    A. 10 then 7 then 4 then 1
  • 6. 

    Which of the following prints "1" ?

    • IF 4>3 THEN PRINT "0" ELSE PRINT "1"

    • IF 7>4 AND 5

    • IF 7>3 OR 3>5 THEN PRINT "1" ELSE PRINT "0"

    • IF 7>9 OR 2>5 THEN PRINT "1" ELSE PRINT "0"

    Correct Answer
    A. IF 7>3 OR 3>5 THEN PRINT "1" ELSE PRINT "0"
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "IF 7>3 OR 3>5 THEN PRINT '1' ELSE PRINT '0'". This statement will evaluate whether 7 is greater than 3 or if 3 is greater than 5. Since 7 is indeed greater than 3, the condition will be true and the program will print "1".

    Computer programs are created to make computers and robots do things. Which of these are programming languages?

    • Roamer

    • Scratch

    • Python

    • Flowchart

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Roamer
    A. Scratch
    A. Python
    Explanation
    Roamer, Scratch, and Python are programming languages. Programming languages are used to create computer programs and instruct computers and robots on what tasks to perform. Roamer is a programming language specifically designed for educational robots, while Scratch is a visual programming language used for creating interactive stories, games, and animations. Python is a general-purpose programming language widely used in various applications, including web development, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. Flowchart, on the other hand, is not a programming language but a graphical representation of a process or algorithm.
