Automation And Robotics Final

Front 1

What is code?

Back 1

The text given to the robot that tells it what to do.

Front 2

Is task main the same as task main in RobotC?

Back 2

No, punctuation and capitalization matter.

Front 3

What does it mean when a word appears in color when typed in RobotC?

Back 3

RobotC recognizes that command, red & blue: a command the robot understands, green: comments, black: robot doesn't understand

Front 4

Give an example of a simple statement.

Back 4

wait(5);

Front 5

After a simple statement has been run, what statement does RobotC run next?

Back 5

The line under it, reading order.

Front 6

What happens when a program runs out of statements to run?

Back 6

The robot stops.

Front 7

How does RobotC know where one statement ends and the next begin?

Back 7

;

Front 8

What purpose do tabs, spaces, and line breaks serve in RobotC?

Back 8

To help organize it for the programmer

Front 9

Identify the paired punctuation in the command:

motor[port2] = 127;

Back 9

port2

Front 10

What is the function of the punctuation pair you identified?

Back 10

To show which motor port is activated from the program.

Front 11

What is the difference between a simple statement and a control statement?

Back 11

The control statement affects the order that the simple statements run, skip, or repeat.

Front 12

What special symbols mark a single-line comment?

Back 12

//

Front 13

What special symbols mark a multi-line comment?

Back 13

forward slash or /*

Front 14

Describe four of the Natural Language commands found in the Function Library.

Back 14

Movement, wait, until, and special.

Front 15

What information can be found under the Help Menu?

Back 15

Information that will help you program, code, and learn about RobotC.

Front 16

What information is stored in the Motors and Sensors Setup Menu?

Back 16

Which ports the motors and sensors are in and their names.

Front 17

Why is it important for the Motors and Sensors Setup and the Electrical Engineering Schematic to match?

Back 17

So the program will run and do what you want it to do.

Front 18
