New 3D Printers Could Build Implants, Electronics

Several new 3D printers showcased at CES 2015 in Las Vegas earlier this month suggest that the 3D printing industry — best known for churning out brightly colored plastic doodads — could be turning over a new, more scientific leaf.
Amid the rough-edged replicas of superheroes and army tanks that adorned the expo's 3D printing space stood a machine that prints tiny medical implants that dissolve inside the human body. Another printer uses a combination of conductive inks and filaments to print quadcopters already embedded with the electronics that allow them to hover in the air. One company displayed a prototype of a 3D-printed medical device that can automatically stitch up patients after surgery.
The message these companies are sending couldn't be clearer: 3D printing isn't just for makers anymore. Increasingly, this trendy technology is turning into a must-have tool for doctors, researchers and engineers.

Practice Questions

What value is stored in num at the end of this looping?

num = 0 

for x = 1 to 3 do

     num = num + x

next

a. 3

b. 4

c. 5

d. 6

Consider the following snippet and state how many times the phrase “In the loop” is printed.

a = 6

b = 12

while a < b do

     print “In the loop”

     a = a + 2

wend

a. 6

b. 12

c. 2

d. 3

Looking at the following while statement, identify the dummy value.

While Age < > 999 do

a. While

b. 999

c. Age

d. < >

Using the following snippet, state the number of repetitions that will occur.

input num

while num < 6 do

     count = count + 1

wend

a. 1

b. 2

c. 5

d. unknown

Look at the following; identify the loop variable.

for class = 1 to 25 do

   input num

   total = total + num

next

a. num

b. total

c. class

d. not specified

Consider the following array of peripherals and answer the questions.

1  Monitors

2  Keyboards

3  Mouse

Identify the name of the array ___________________

State the size of the array _______________________

State the data type of the array ___________________

Convert the following to a repeat until loop, whereby the loop repeats until the word end is entered:

for students = 1 to 117

   print "ready for the exam?"

   input ans$

   if ans$ = "yes" then

       print "Awesomesauce"

   end if

next

Exam Prep...

Tomorrow is the IT theory exam and here's a bit of prep for you...

7-10 structured questions
1 algorithm

Things to know:
Syntax for all types of algorithms
ControlStructures
Flowchart symbols
Steps in problem solving phase
Convert for loop to while and repeat until loops
Identify input, output or processing statements
How to declare and use arrays (3 steps)
