Q1 Explain the following questions:
a) Define Software development cycle?
This is a structured sequence of actions that allow you to plan, design, create,
test and then improve a computer program.
b) Define Interface?
The part of a program that lets the user input data and that produces output
for the user. It includes the on screen buttons, text images that user click, type
into and look at.
c) Define Data Capture?
Gathering data from the real world and turning it into a form the computer
understand .It has to be turned into 1s and 0s. This can be done by any type of
data.
d) Open scratch and add new block so when left arrow key is pressed the car
move 50 steps. Test your code works
Write the scratch code below:
When Left arrow key pressed
Move 50 step
e) Open scratch and add new block so when sprite clicked make the sprite
moves -50 steps. Test your code works
Write the scratch code below:
When the sprite clicked
Move -50 step
f) Define Broadcast and variable?
Broadcast is a way of communication between sprites. It lets you send out a
message in scratch that other sprites can see and react.
Variable is a place in computer’s memory where you can store your data
temporarily.
g) Define if-then and if-then else statement?
When the answer is true, then scratch runs the commands inside the block. If
the answer is false, the code will not run.
When the answer is true, the statement after then will run. If the answer is
false, the statement after else will run.
h) Write down the steps that how we can make a variable?
Click on Variable
Click on make a variable
Give variable a sensible name
Click ok
i) Open scratch and make a variable ‘point’. When the user presses right arrow
key,
The sprite moves to right, and 1 is added to variable. If variable is greater than
5 output is ‘You win’ and if variable is less than 5 output is ‘keep going’. Test
your code works.
Take a screen shot of your scratch code and paste it below:
2) What is the difference between “IF” block and “IF then ELSE” block?
In “IF” block if the answer is False, the code will not run and
In “ IF then ELSE” block if the answer is False , the statement after ‘else’
will run.
3) When we use block?
To detect if a sprite has touched a specific color we use this block.
4) When we use block?
To detect if a sprite has touched another sprite we use this block
5) Open scratch and create your own sprite that contains a white rectangle and
inside it there is small red circle forming a picture like this
And then paste your full scratch screenshot below in this page.
6) Define the term Costumes.
Alternated appearance of the sprite is known as costume of the sprite.
7) Name the two blocks used to change the costumes.
Switch costume and next costume
8) What is the use of Reset timer block?
Reset timer is used to reset the timer to start from zero.
9) Write the code for a scratch program with one sprite that
has two costumes. Add blocks so that after 5 seconds the sprite
changes costume, then after 10 seconds it changes back to the
first costume. Paste the screenshot.
