Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of sub-routines in programming?

Sub-routines are used to simplify programs by breaking them into smaller, reusable sections.

How can sub-routines enhance code reusability in a program?

Sub-routines allow the same block of code to be called multiple times without rewriting it.

In the provided Scratch calculator program, what are the two operations the user can perform?

The user can either add or subtract two numbers based on their input.

What happens if the user enters an invalid operation in the Scratch calculator?

<p>The program will prompt the user to enter a valid number for the operation.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Why is it important to avoid complications in a program?

Study Notes

Sub-routines

Sub-routines are like mini programs within a larger program.
Sub-routines can be called upon as needed to perform specific tasks.
Sub-routines help to avoid overly complex programs by breaking them down into smaller, more manageable parts.
Sub-routines can be reused multiple times within a program, eliminating the need to rewrite the same code repeatedly.
The provided Scratch code illustrates a basic calculator program that could benefit from using sub-routines for increased clarity and organization.

Code Example

The code takes user input for two numbers and an operation: addition (1) or subtraction (2).
Based on the operation, the code performs the corresponding calculation and displays the result.
If an invalid operation is entered, the code requests a valid input.
The example code demonstrates the potential complexity that can arise in longer programs.
Sub-routines would simplify and improve the organization of a more advanced version of this calculator program.
