6. Which programming environment is most commonly associated with Arduino boards?
i. Scratch ii. Arduino IDE

iii. Eclipse iv. Visual Basic

7. In pseudocode, loops such as “WHILE” or “FOR” are used to:
i. Repeat steps until a condition is satisfied
ii. End the algorithm

iii. Create flowchart symbols

iv. Define hardware setup
8. A microcontroller differs from a microprocessor because it:
i. Requires external devices for I/O

ii. Integrates CPU, memory, and I/O on a single chip

iii. Cannot be programmed
iv. Is always larger in size

9. The basic building blocks of computing logic in robotics are:
i. Sensors and actuators ii. Logic gates

iii. Flowcharts iv. Truth tables
10. An algorithm should always be:
i. Vague and flexible ii. Step-by-step and unambiguous

iii. Written only in coding language iv. Based on trial-and-error

B. Fill in the blanks.
1. Boolean logic was first formalised by .
2. The three basic logic gates are AND, OR, and .

3. A is a simplified way of expressing program logic before coding.

4. The symbol in a flowchart represents decision-making.

5. A microcontroller integrates CPU, , and input/output ports.

6. In robotics, computing systems are often referred to as the robot’s .
7. Truth tables list all possible combinations of and corresponding outputs.

8. loops are used when the number of iterations is predetermined.

9. The Arduino Uno uses an family microcontroller.

10. A single-board computer can run an operating system such as .

C. State whether these statements are true or false.
1. Pseudocode must follow the syntax of a programming language.

2. Flowcharts are helpful in debugging algorithms before coding.

3. A Raspberry Pi can run Python programs for robotics applications.
