|

|
|
This is the answer key for the [jailbreak quiz](/microbit/lessons/jailbreak/quiz).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 1. What does a 'break' statement do to a 'loop' ?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Exit a while or for loop before the loop is complete.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 2. Consider the following directions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Write the line of code that will initialize a number `variable` to 0. Then create a second `variable` that tells us when we should `break` out of the loop. Set the `break` to false.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
count = 0
|
||
|
|
shouldBreak = false
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 3. Consider the following directions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Write the line of code to stop incrementing `count` when the button is pressed. (Hint: This will set `should break` to true).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
input.onButtonPressed("A", () => {
|
||
|
|
shouldBreak = true
|
||
|
|
})
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 4. Consider the following directions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Add an `if` statement to determine whether or not we should break out of the loop. Then include the message "I'm Out!" and a smiley face **image** displayed. This will happen right before you `break` from the `while` loop. **Do not include the break **
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
if (shouldBreak) {
|
||
|
|
basic.showString("I'M OUT!", 150)
|
||
|
|
images.createImage(`
|
||

|
||
|
|
`).showImage(0)
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
