Consider the code segment below. What is the output of the program?  The variable sat is assigned the value 1250. An IF statement checks whether sat > 1200. If the condition is true, the variable admitted is set to true; otherwise, admitted is set to false. After the conditional, the program displays the value of admitted, showing how Boolean expressions control program output.

Based on the CollegeBoard requirements of loops, what will be displayed after this code segment is run? Throughout the second block of code there are nested blocks of code. Line 1: [begin block] a ← 0 [end block] Line 2: [Begin Block] REPEAT 3 TIMES [end block] Line 3: [begin block] a ← a + 1 [end block] Line 4: [begin block] DISPLAY [begin block] a [end block] [end block] Line 5: [begin block] a ← a + 1 [end block] [End Block]

Directions: The question or incomplete statement below is followed by four suggested answers or completions. Select the one that is best in each case.   Byte pair encoding is a data encoding technique. The encoding algorithm looks for pairs of characters that appear in the string more than once and replaces each instance of that pair with a corresponding character that does not appear in the string. The algorithm saves a list containing the mapping of character pairs to their corresponding replacement characters.   For example, the string “THIS_IS_THE_BEST_WISH” can be encoded as “%#_#_&E_BEST_W#H” by replacing all instances of ” TH” with ” % ” and replacing all instances of “IS” with “#”.   Which of the following statements about byte pair encoding is true?

A wildlife preserve is developing an interactive exhibit for its guests. The exhibit is intended to allow guests to select the name of an animal on a touch screen and display various facts about the selected animal.   Classification: mammal Skin type: fur Thermoregulation: warm-blooded Lifestyle: pack Average life span: 10-12 years Top speed: 75 kilometers/hour   The preserve has two databases of information available to use for the exhibit. The first database contains information for each animal’s name, classification, skin type, and thermoregulation. The second database contains information for each animal’s name, lifestyle, average life span, and top speed.   Which of the following explains how the two databases can be used to develop the interactive exhibit?
