This is the answer key for the [looper quiz](/microbit/lessons/looper/quiz).
|
|
|
|
## 1. What is a for loop?
|
|
|
|
Answers will vary. In general, for loop refers to the code that repeats for a fixed number of times. We specify the LED using x, y coordinates.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Consider the following code
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
for (let i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
|
|
basic.showNumber(i, 150)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the rectangle below represents the BBC micro:bit, shade the areas that will be displayed. Explain why that particular area is shaded.
|
|
|
|
Let's create a for loop where `0` is the loop's starting value, `i` is the index variable, and `4` is the ending value. The index variable `i` starts at 0 and increases by 1 each time through the loop. The loop ends when `i = 4`.

## 3. Consider the following code
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
for (let i1 = 0; i1 < 6; i1++) {
|
|
basic.showNumber(i1, 150)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the rectangle below represents the BBC micro:bit, shade the areas that will be displayed. Explain why that particular area is shaded.
|
|
|
|
Let's create a for loop where `0` is the loop's starting value, `i` is the index variable, and `6` is the ending value. The index variable `i` starts at 0 and increases by 1 each time through the loop. The loop ends when `i = 6`.
