Question

question 3 of 10
what will happen in this program after the speak function is called for the first time?
on start
set mysprite to sprite of kind player
call speak 2 \hi\
call speak 3 \bye\
function speak num word
if word == \bye\ then
mysprite say word
else
repeat num times
do mysprite say word
a. the sprites appearance will change.
b. the sprite will say \bye\ three times.
c. the sprite will say \hi\ twice.
d. the sprite will move and then speak.

Explanation:

1. Analyze the first call to the speak function: The first call is call speak 2 "hi", so num = 2 and word = "hi".
2. Check the if condition in the speak function: The condition is word == "bye". Since word is "hi", this condition is false.
3. Execute the else block: In the else block, there is a repeat num times loop. With num = 2 and word = "hi", the sprite will say "hi" 2 times (twice).
4. Evaluate the options:

• Option A: The code doesn't change the sprite's appearance, so A is wrong.
• Option B: The first call uses "hi" and num = 2, not "bye" and 3, so B is wrong.
• Option C: Matches the analysis (say "hi" twice), so C is correct.
• Option D: The code has no movement commands, so D is wrong.

Answer:

C. The sprite will say "hi" twice.
