Answer :
Let's break down the given EdPy program codes for the Edison Robot line by line and understand the final outcome for each.
Program (a)
for x in range(360):Ed.Drive(Ed.FORWARD, Ed.SPEED_5, 1)
Ed.Drive(Ed.SPIN_LEFT, Ed.SPEED_5, 1)
Line 1: for x in range(360):
- This line initializes a loop that will run 360 times. The variable x takes on values from 0 to 359 (inclusive) throughout the loop iterations.
Line 2: Ed.Drive(Ed.FORWARD, Ed.SPEED_5, 1)
- Within each iteration of the loop, the Edison Robot will move forward. Ed.FORWARD indicates the direction, Ed.SPEED_5 sets the speed, and 1 specifies the duration or distance for which the robot drives forward.
Line 3: Ed.Drive(Ed.SPIN_LEFT, Ed.SPEED_5, 1)
- After moving forward, the robot will spin or turn left. Ed.SPIN_LEFT specifies the type of movement, Ed.SPEED_5 again controls the speed, and 1 determines how long or by how much the robot spins.
Final Outcome:
The combination of moving forward and then spinning left 360 times results in the robot tracing out a small circle as it continuously makes slight left turns while moving forward.
Program (b)
for i in range(4):Ed.PlayBeep()
Ed.TimeWait(1, Ed.TIME_SECONDS)
Line 1: for i in range(4):
- This loop will run four times, assigning the variable i values from 0 to 3 during the iterations.
Line 2: Ed.PlayBeep()
- This command makes the Edison Robot emit a beep sound once during each iteration.
Line 3: Ed.TimeWait(1, Ed.TIME_SECONDS)
- After the beep, this line causes the program to pause for 1 second before continuing to the next loop iteration.
Final Outcome:
The robot will beep four times in total, with a 1-second pause between each beep. This creates an
