Tonight’s Agenda:

Welcome & Introductions for anyone new tonight
Breifly review
- Variables
- Loops – specifically infinite loops!
- Conditionals
- Procedures
Sample AP Exam Question: We will analyze Sample Question #17 for the AP Computer Science Principles Course and Exam shown below.
Let’s see if we can build our own infinite loop in Scratch.

#17. Consider the following program code:

i = 0
sum = 0

REPEAT UNTIL i = 4
{
   i = 1
   sum = sum + i
   i = i + 1
}

Which of the following best describes the result of running the program code?

a) The number 0 is displayed
b) The number 6 is displayed
c) The number 10 is displayed
d) Nothing is displayed; the program results in an infinite loop.

Not sure what the answer is? Play the Scratch project!
