Answer Key

App and game use adds to your footprint

Section A: Quick Questions

A — The game can record it, and it adds to your digital footprint

A — Your scores and how long you play

B — The in-app purchase is recorded and adds to your footprint

B — Apps can record how long you play, and this is part of your footprint

A — Some records, like your account and scores, may still be stored by the game company

Section B: Match the Pairs

playTime = 95 → The game records how many minutes you played, which adds to your footprint

chat.send("gg, good game!") → A game chat message is saved, so it adds to your footprint

An in-app purchase is recorded in your account history and adds to your footprint → purchase.add("gem pack")

A game saves your score on your account, which adds to your footprint → saveScore(player, 4200)

if gameChat == "private": footprint = none → Wrong: game chat is not free of footprint just because it feels private. The game still records your messages.

deleteApp("Racer"); footprint = 0 → Wrong: deleting an app from your phone does not remove your footprint. The company may still hold your scores and purchases.

Section C: Definitions

app activity data — Apps and games record what you do, like scores, chats, purchases and play time. This record adds to your digital footprint.

Section D: Fill in the Blanks

playTime = playTime + 15

if item_bought == True:
    footprint.add("purchase")

chatLog.append("hello team!")

for app in phone_apps:
    footprint.add(app.activity)

footprint = []
score = 250
footprint.append(score)

Section E: Spot the Error

A — A single = stores a value in a variable. == only compares two values. The line should be footprint = [] to start an empty list of recorded activity.

B — Variable names cannot contain spaces. It should be minutes_played = 45 so the play time is stored and matches the name used on line 3.

D — The variable name is misspelled. The total was stored as total, so it should be print("Spent:", total) to show the in-app purchase record.

C — A comma is missing between the text and the variable. It should be print("Score saved:", score).

B — The string is missing its closing quote. It should be message = "GG team!" so the game chat message is stored correctly.
