Programming Language Quiz: Test Your Knowledge (Grade 6)

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🖥️ A programming language is a way to tell a computer what to do.
• ✏️ We use code, which is like a set of instructions, to write programs.
• ➕ Common programming concepts include variables (like containers for information), loops (repeating actions), and conditionals (making decisions).
• 🧱 Variables store data, such as numbers or text, which can change during the program's execution.
• 🔄 Loops are used to repeat a block of code multiple times. Examples include 'for' loops and 'while' loops.
• 🚦 Conditionals use 'if', 'else if', and 'else' statements to execute different code blocks based on conditions.
• 💬 Input is how the program receives information, and output is how it shows results.
