Answer Key

Outputting several values with commas

Section A: Quick Questions

A — OUTPUT "You have ", Lives, " lives left"

B — You have 3 lives left

A — OUTPUT "Score: ", Score

A — HelloSam

B — OUTPUT "Total = ", Total

Section B: Match the Pairs

OUTPUT "You have ", Lives, " lives left" → Displays text, then the value of Lives, then more text, all on one line

OUTPUT "Score: ", Score → Displays the words Score: followed by the value stored in the variable Score

Spaces you want displayed must be placed inside the quotes of the text → OUTPUT "Name: ", Name

Text and variables can be mixed in one OUTPUT, with commas between each value → OUTPUT "Hello ", Name, "!"

OUTPUT "You have " Lives " lives left" → The commas between the values are missing. Each value in an OUTPUT must be separated by a comma.

OUTPUT "Score:", Score → There is no space inside the quotes after the colon, so the output shows Score:10 with no gap.

Section C: Definitions

OUTPUT "You have ", Lives, " lives left" — One OUTPUT command can display several values, separated by commas. Mix text in quotes with variables. Any spaces you want shown must be inside the quotes.

Section D: Fill in the Blanks

OUTPUT "You have ", Lives, " lives left"

Lives ← 3
OUTPUT "You have ", Lives, " lives left"

Coins ← 25
OUTPUT "Coins: ", Coins, " gold"

Lives ← 3
OUTPUT "You have ", Lives, " lives left"

DECLARE Lives : INTEGER
Lives ← 3
OUTPUT "Lives: ", Lives

Section E: Spot the Error

A — The values in an OUTPUT command must be separated by commas. A comma is missing between "Level " and 1. It should be OUTPUT "Level ", 1.

B — Quotes around Lives make it text, so the word Lives is displayed instead of its value. A variable must be written without quotes: OUTPUT "You have ", Lives.

D — Spaces must be inside the quotes. Without a space after Now, the output runs together as Now2 left. It should be "Now ".

B — OUTPUT values are separated by commas, not semicolons. It should be OUTPUT "Score: ", Score.

C — Commas go between values only. A trailing comma after the last value is an error because nothing follows it. It should be OUTPUT Name, " is ", Age.
