|
## 1. What is a "global variable"?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Answers may vary. A global variable is a place where you can store data so that you can use it later in your code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 2. Consider the following directions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Write the code to create a **global variable** called `foo` that stores a boolean and initialize it to **false**.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
rotating = true
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 3. Consider the following code
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
while (rotating) {
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Explain what this line of code does.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is a **while** loop that will be executed only if the **global variable** called `rotating` is **true**.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 4. Consider the following code
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
