“Functions” are represented by Java methods whose returnType is not void.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
In Java, functions are represented by methods whose returnType is not void. This means that these methods return a value of a specific data type instead of nothing. The returnType specifies the type of value that the method will return when it is called. Therefore, the correct answer is true.Rate this question:

Void means the method does not return anything.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because in programming, a void method is a method that does not have a return type. It is used to perform a task or action without returning a value. When a method is declared as void, it means that it does not return any data back to the caller. Instead, it simply executes the code within the method and then terminates.Rate this question:

Methods that return a value are like questions.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Methods that return a value can be compared to questions because they allow us to ask the method for a specific value or information, just like we ask questions to get answers. When we call a method that returns a value, it executes its code and provides us with the result, similar to how a question provides us with an answer. Therefore, the statement "Methods that return a value are like questions" is true.Rate this question:

Methods that are void methods are like commands
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Void methods in programming are functions that do not return any value. They are used to perform certain actions or tasks, similar to giving commands. When a void method is called, it executes the code within it and completes the specified action without returning a result. Therefore, the statement that void methods are like commands is true, as they are used to perform actions rather than returning values.Rate this question:

A class called Ant extends the Actor class.
- A.
Ant is a super class to Actor
- B.
Actor is the super class to Ant
- C.
Actor is not a class
Correct Answer
B. Actor is the super class to AntExplanation
The correct answer is "Actor is the super class to Ant". This means that the class "Ant" inherits from the class "Actor". In object-oriented programming, a superclass is a class from which other classes are derived, while a subclass is a class that inherits properties and methods from a superclass. In this case, "Ant" is the subclass and "Actor" is the superclass. This relationship allows the "Ant" class to inherit and use the properties and methods defined in the "Actor" class.Rate this question:

To translate source code into machine code that a computer can understand and execute is called compiling.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Compiling is the process of converting source code, written in a high-level programming language, into machine code that can be understood and executed by a computer. This process involves various steps such as lexical analysis, syntax analysis, and code optimization. The resulting compiled code can then be run on the target computer architecture. Therefore, the given statement that translating source code into machine code is called compiling is correct.Rate this question:

What is the method name for the following method? public void eat()
- A.
Public
- B.
Voic
- C.
Eat()
Correct Answer

The method name for the given method is "eat()". This is determined by the combination of the access modifier "public", the return type "void", and the method name "eat()". The access modifier "public" indicates that the method can be accessed from anywhere. The return type "void" means that the method does not return any value. Finally, the method name itself is "eat()".Rate this question:

What is the return value of the following method? public void setSize(int sze)
- A.
Public
- B.
Void
- C.
SetSize()
- D.
Int sze
Correct Answer
B. VoidExplanation
The return value of the given method is "void". This means that the method does not return any value. It is a type of method that performs a certain action or task, but does not produce a result that can be used or assigned to a variable. In this case, the method "setSize" takes an integer parameter "sze" and does some action with it, but it does not return any value.Rate this question:

You want the dimensions of the world in your Greenfoot scenario to be 200 cells by 300 cells and each cell will be 5 by 5 pixels. Complete the statement below to accomplish this: (3 marks)
- A.
Super(200, 300, 5);
- B.
Super(300, 200, 5);
- C.
Super(200, 300, 5, 5);
- D.
Super(300, 200, 5, 5)
Correct Answer
A. Super(200, 300, 5);Explanation
The correct answer is "super(200, 300, 5);" because the "super" keyword is used to call the constructor of the superclass, in this case, the World class. The parameters passed in the constructor are the width (200 cells), height (300 cells), and cell size (5 pixels). This statement sets the dimensions of the world in the Greenfoot scenario to be 200 cells by 300 cells, with each cell being 5 by 5 pixels.Rate this question:
