1. True or False: Computer programs consist of expressions, which in turn consist of statements.
2. True or False: An expression is a specific combination of operators and operands, which evaluates to a particular result. The operands can be variables, literals, or method calls that return a value.
3. True or False: A statement is a specific combination of expressions.
4. True or False: Operands are the action elements of a computer program.
They perform actions such as:
5. True or False: Operators operate on operands. Stated differently, operands are the things that are operated on by operators.
6. True or False: An operator that operates on one operand is called a binary operator.
7. True or False: An operator that operates on two operands is called a binary operator.
8. True or False: According to the current jargon, binary operators in Alice use prefix notation. This means that the operator appears between its operands.
9. True or False: In Alice, there is at least one unary operator that uses postfix notation. This operator is the increment operator.
10. True or False: As a result of performing the specified action, an operator can be said to return a value (or evaluate to a value) of a given type.
11. True or False: Alice supports the operators in the following list:
+ Adds its operands
- Subtracts the right operand
from the left operand
* Multiplies the operands
/ Divides the left operand by
the right operand
% Remainder of dividing the
left operand by the right
operand - modulus operator12. True or False: The arithmetic operators in Alice are exposed whenever you click the triangle immediately to the right of a component in an expression that can serve as the left operand for the operator.
13. True or False: Alice supports the equality operators shown in the following list:
== Returns true if operands are equal.
Otherwise returns false.
!= Returns true if operands are not equal.
Otherwise returns false.14. True or False: The equality operators in the following list produce results of type Number.
== Returns true if operands are equal.
Otherwise returns false.
!= Returns true if operands are not equal.
Otherwise returns false.
