                    Research shows coding activates brain areas tied to memory,
                             attention, and language, boosting learning.

                   1.   Which construct  allows a program to  execute  a block  of code        Algorithms are often
                      repeatedly as long as a certain condition is met?                        evaluated based on
                            a. Variable assignment                    b. Loop                 their time complexity
                   2.  What is the result when using the "AND" condition in a program?         (measured in Big O

                            a. True only if both conditions are true                           notation) and space
                                                                                                   complexity.
                            b. True if either of the conditions is true
                   3.  What type of loop repeats a certain number of times?

                            a. Conditional loop                       b. Counting loop
                   4. Conditional loops in a program repeat until:
                            a. A fixed number of times

                            b. A certain condition is reached

                                                                                                 One of the oldest
                                                                                                known algorithms
                                                                                                 is the Euclidean

                                                                                                  dates back to
                        Conditional statements are used in a program to instruct the             ancient Greece
                      computer to make a decision.                                               around 300 BC.

                        A loop allows a set of instructions or a block of code to be
                      executed repeatedly.
                        When a loop repeats forever (endlessly), it is called an infinite
                      loop.
