9706 | Would you ever need to convert a value into a float? What would be the benefit of purpose of doing this? How would it change the value? | ||
9727 | How can you delete lines or portions of lines of code once they have been executed in the shell? | ||
9729 | How common is use of modules in advanced software design? | ||
9742 | Are new modules still being created? | ||
9744 | How advanced and artistic can these turtles get? Do they ever use this to create art for simple video games? | ||
9745 | Is debugging under-appreciated and under-taught due to the logic that good initial programming should save the need for debugging later? (Is the teaching of debugging passed over in favor of avoiding it altogether?) | ||
9747 | If you can only give instructions to one turtle at a time, what's the point of being able to create multiple turtles? | ||
9749 | Could you explain the differences between the for loop and the range function? | ||
9750 | Are floats in python the same as doubles in other languages? | ||
9751 | What is control flow? | ||
9757 | Is it possible to create moving images with turtle? | ||
9758 | How does a debugging program find and fix problems in a program or computer as a whole? | ||
9759 | When we assign a loop variable, can we assign another value to a variable with the same name outside of the loop? Would it delete the previous value stored? | ||
9760 | Is it possible to draw organic shapes with the Turtle module? | ||
9761 | What is the difference between "for" and "if". Can for make choice according to the variable? | ||
9762 | Loop variables make sense only when the strings have specific meanings? Like those colors? | ||
9763 | Are there limits to the shapes we can draw using the turtle graphics? | ||
9764 | How does porting work? | ||
9766 | Could you elaborate what the text means when it states: "The dot notation turtle.Turtle means “The Turtle type that is defined within the turtle" module”. | ||
9767 | What is turtle generally used for? Is it kind of just for fun or do people use it professionally to design things? | ||
9769 | I am still really confused about when to use the % key when programming. How do you know when to do that? Could you go over another example (not using time)? | ||
9770 | Is there any way to have the turtle program create curves that you can control like the lines? I also don't fully understand how to create shapes like the spiral and circle. | ||
9771 | For turtle graphics, can I start at any other place on the screen besides the middle? | ||
9772 | Can a turtle draw a curve? | ||
9774 | I was confused about how to change the font size in the turtle program, could you explain this? | ||
9784 | What does the "( )" at the end of programming lines do. For instance, win = turtle.Screen() OR tom = turtle.Turtle() | ||
9825 | What is something that the Turtle function would be used for in? In real life? |
