Unit 4: Loops

In Unit 4 you learned how to make use of loops to enter as Objectives:


many values as needed and, as an extension, checks for • Try these additional tasks to practice what you
valid values entered and uses If statements to display an learned in Unit 4.
appropriate message.

1. Display the powers of a number, like 2, 2^2, 2^3, 2^4, 2^5, … . Input the base and the number of powers
to display.

2. Create a countdown timer. Input a number of seconds (like 10) and display the countdown in the center of
the screen using Output( ). Use the Wait statement found on the prgm>CTL menu. Wait 1 means wait
one second before proceeding. At the end of the countdown display “TIME’S UP!”. Bonus: enter a number
of minutes and display the countdown in minutes and seconds (mm:ss) format.

3. You want to average a set of numbers but do not know how many numbers are in the set, but you do know
that they are all greater than 0. Use a While loop that ends when 0 is entered and keeps a running total
and count of the numbers entered. After the While loop, calculate and display the average of the numbers.
Be careful not to count the 0.

4. randInt(0,9)A produces a random digit (randInt is on [math]>PROB). Use a Repeat loop to select three
random digits that are all different. After the loop ends, display the three digits to be sure that they are all
different.

5. Write a Repeat routine to make sure that three values entered can be the sides of a triangle. You will use
this in a later project.

6. Write a program to let the user enter two whole numbers ad computer the sum of the whole numbers
between (and including them. Caution: the program must first check to determine which of the two
numbers is smaller.

7. Slope Game: Make a game that creates 2 random ordered pairs (x,y) using randInt(-10,10) so that all
four coordinates are integers between -10 and 10. Ask the user to find the slope between the two points.
If the user is correct, add a point to a score variable and ask another question. If the user is incorrect, exit
the loop and display the number of correct answers. If x1 = x2 in the generated numbers, make x1 = x2 +
1 so you won’t have to worry about undefined slopes. Hint: you can enter fractions to an Input statement.

8. Perfect Cube Game: Make a game that generates a random integer from -12 to 12. Display the cube of
the number and ask the user to enter the cube root. If the user enters the correct base, tell the user he or
she is correct, add a point to a running score then display a new question. If the user’s answer isn’t
correct, exit the loop, display the correct answer and the number of questions answered correctly.

9. Quadratic Factoring Game: Make a game that creates random factorable quadratic equations in the
2
form: x + bx + c. The game should ask the user to enter both integer solutions to the quadratic. If the user
is correct, add one to a score variable and generate a new question. If the user is incorrect, exit the loop
and display the number of questions answered correctly. Hint: use randInt() to create the roots, then
determine the values of a, b and c for display.

10. Cubic Factoring Game: Make a game that creates random factorable perfect cube equations in the form:
3 2
x + c. The game should ask the user to enter three integers a,b,d in the form: (x + a)(x + bx + d).
If the user’s factored form is correct, add one to a score variable and generate a new question. If the user
is incorrect, exit the loop and display the number of questions answered correctly. If the user is incorrect,
3
display the correct factored form. Hint: generate a random number and cube it to display x + c. Then
determine a, b, and d for checking the user’s response.

11. Extension: allow other leading term coefficients (other than 1) in #9 and #10.
