In computer programming what is a loop?
- A.
  
  A circle
- B.
  
  Repeating the same thing.
- C.
  
  Having the computer do the same thing multiple times.
- D.
  
  I don't know
Correct Answer
C. Having the computer do the same thing multiple times.

Explanation
A loop in computer programming refers to the repetition of a set of instructions or a block of code multiple times. It allows the computer to execute the same set of instructions repeatedly until a certain condition is met. By using loops, programmers can save time and effort by avoiding the need to write the same code multiple times. Therefore, the correct answer is "Having the computer do the same thing multiple times."

In computer programming what is a function?
- A.
  
  A piece of code that you can call over and over again
- B.
  
  A math problem
- C.
  
  Something about input and output
- D.
  
  I don't know
Correct Answer
A. A piece of code that you can call over and over again

Explanation
A function in computer programming is a piece of code that can be called repeatedly to perform a specific task. It is a reusable block of code that can be invoked from different parts of a program. By calling a function, the programmer can execute a set of instructions without having to rewrite the code each time. Functions can take inputs, process them, and produce outputs, making them a useful tool for organizing and modularizing code.

True or False. An algorithm is like a recipe?
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
An algorithm is like a recipe because it provides a step-by-step procedure to solve a problem or accomplish a task. Just like a recipe provides instructions for cooking a dish, an algorithm provides instructions for solving a problem. Both involve a series of well-defined steps that need to be followed in a specific order to achieve the desired outcome.

In computer programming what is a variable?
- A.
  
  Something about x.
- B.
  
  A storage location that can store a value
- C.
  
  A name for a storage location.
- D.
  
  I don't know
Correct Answer
B. A storage location that can store a value

Explanation
A variable in computer programming refers to a storage location that can hold a value. It is used to store and manipulate data during the execution of a program. By assigning a name to a storage location, programmers can easily refer to and manipulate the data stored in that location. This allows for flexibility and dynamic behavior in programming, as the value stored in a variable can be changed throughout the execution of a program.
