Unit # 03

1. Explain the features of information processing model.

 Retrieval

2. Demonstrate the main steps in writing a pseudocode.

Ans. Following are the main steps in writing a pseudocode.
i. Develop the solution logic in your mind by arranging the sequence of tasks.
ii. At the start of pseudocode clearly write a statement showing main goal of a pseudocode.
iii. Now write the algorithm by defining sequences, repetitions or conditional statements as
required by the solution.

3. How nested loops are useful in arranging a calendar?

Ans. A nested loop is a loop that appears inside the other loop. Nested loops are useful when an iterative
task is to be done for multiple times. Nested loop is useful in arranging the calendar as calendar has
12 months and each month has 30 days. The outer loop of nested loop will arrange the months and
inner loop will arrange the days of a particular month. Its mean that for each iteration of outer loop
which arrange the months, the inner loop will be repeat 30 times to arrange the days for each month.

4. Differentiate between scope and limitations of a problem.

Ans. Scope: The scope of a problem defines the boundaries of what a solution must provide to meet the
requirements.
Limitation: The limitation of a problem refers to the aspects that are beyond the implementation of
the problem.
For example, if the problem is to design a calculator with basic arithmetic operations then its scope
is to have just four functionalities (Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division). Any other
operations are its limitations.

Unit # 04

1. For the following code block a sprite will turn to 30 degrees. How many clicks are required for
sprite to complete a full cycle?

Ans. 12 clicks are required for a sprite to complete a full cycle.

2. What is the difference in outputs of the following code-block, having 4 backdrops?

Ans. When the flag is clicked, the code will place the sprite at the coordinate (0,0) of the stage and perform
the following actions forever:
i. For the first code-block the backdrop will switch to next backdrops and wait for 0.5 seconds.
This step will be repeatedly performed for 4 times on each iteration of forever loop and the
sprite will move 10 steps normally.
ii. For the second code-block the backdrop will switch to next backdrops and the sprite will move
10 steps and wait for 0.5 seconds. This step will be repeatedly performed for 4 times on each
iteration of forever loop.
Note: The spirit will move faster in the second code-block than in the first.

3. For the maze game, duplicate the map ‘maze map and rename it as ‘maze Map 2. Next change
the color of lines in the new map form blue to red. Add Script such that the game becomes a
multi-level game with the 2 distinct image.
Ans. For additional levels we can simply choose the maze-map sprit and duplicate It as a new costume and
rename it. Thereafter we can rearrange or change the existing lines and draw new ones to add difficult

levels. This way new maze design is created. Additionally, you can download maze images form
www.Inventwitchscratch.com/downloads and load these images as new sprites as well. To provide a
better understanding, let’s use such a maze-images for our next level.
 As a first step, we download our maze background and load these images as another Costume to our
‘maze-map’ sprite.
 Next adjust the position of this images such that starting point of both the maze images turn out to
be same this way for each level the starting position of ‘Pico’ will be same and no additional cods
will be required.
 Before proceeding further, we need to ensure first that the movement of ‘Pico’ spirit. On the new
map with arrow-keys is working and does not cross through the lines of the maze. Since, the color
of lines in both the maps is same; there the code will work in new map now, if not then it means
colors in both the maps are different. Now set the maps color to be the same.
 Now load the new map in the game. for this purpose, when the Pico touches the end mark in a level,
the next maze map sends a broad cast message,

v. else:
vi. print (“The Quadrilateral is Rectangle”)

triangle, as shown below:

Ans.

i. num = 1
ii. For i in range (4):
iii. for space in range ( 4-i ):
iv. print (end = " ")
v. for j in range (i+1):
