1Question

In coding, what is a variable? Use a space example in your answer.

2Question

A program stores the name of a spaceship in a variable called shipName. What value should shipName hold if the spaceship is named Orion?

3Question

Write a simple conditional statement for this situation: If the rocket fuel is low, print 'Refuel now'.

6Question

You are tracking three space objects: Moon, Mars, and Saturn. Write a list named objects that stores these three names.

8Question

Write a function called greetAstronaut that prints 'Welcome aboard!' when it is called.

9Question

A rover should keep moving while its battery is above 20. Write a while loop that prints 'Rover moving' while battery is greater than 20, then decreases battery by 5 each time.

10Question

Challenge: Write a short program that uses a variable, an if statement, and a loop. The program should check whether a planet is in a list of visited planets. If it is, print 'Visited!'. If not, print 'Not visited yet.'. Use the planet name 'Mars' and a list with at least two planets.

Answer Key

#	Answer
1	A variable is a named place to store information. Example: planetName could store "Mars".
2	shipName should hold "Orion".
3	if fuelIsLow: print('Refuel now')
4	We are heading to Earth
5	for i in range(1, 5): print(i)
6	objects = ['Moon', 'Mars', 'Saturn']
7	7
8	def greetAstronaut(): print('Welcome aboard!')
9	while battery > 20: print('Rover moving') battery -= 5
10	visitedPlanets = ['Earth', 'Venus'] planet = 'Mars' if planet in visitedPlanets: print('Visited!') else: print('Not visited yet.')
