1. Which of these is something AI can do to help with messy code?

   1. AI can decide which programming language is your favorite
   2. AI can test whether your game is fun to play
   3. AI can rename confusing variable names to make them clearer
   4. AI can write the entire program for you from scratch

2. Why do programmers want their code to be tidy?

   1. Tidy code runs faster on computers
   2. Tidy code uses less memory
   3. Tidy code automatically fixes bugs
   4. Tidy code is easier for humans to read and understand

3. What does 'formatting' mean when talking about code?

   1. Choosing what font the code appears in
   2. Printing the code on paper
   3. Adding spaces, indentation, and line breaks to make code look nice
   4. Saving the code to a file

4. What happens when code has no spaces or line breaks?

   1. The computer cannot run the code
   2. The code becomes very hard to read and understand
   3. The code will definitely have errors
   4. The code will run faster

5. What is a 'variable' in programming?

   1. An error in your code
   2. A placeholder that stores information with a name
   3. A type of computer program
   4. A button you click to run code

6. If a variable is named 'x', why might AI rename it?

   1. Because 'x' is too long of a name
   2. Because 'x' is not allowed in programming
   3. Because 'x' doesn't tell you what data it holds
   4. Because 'x' makes the code run slower

7. What does it mean to 'split big chunks into small pieces' when discussing code?

   1. Breaking long sections of code into smaller, separate parts
   2. Removing parts of the code
   3. Cutting the code into random pieces
   4. Making the font size smaller

8. Who benefits when code is kept tidy?

   1. No one benefits from tidy code
   2. Future coders who need to understand or change the code
   3. Only the original programmer who wrote it
   4. Only computers benefit

9. The lesson compares a messy drawer to messy code. What happens when AI 'tidies' code the way you might tidy a drawer?

   1. The code becomes invisible
   2. The code gets deleted
   3. The drawer turns into a computer
   4. The code becomes organized and easy to find things in

10. What is 'clean code'?

    1. Code that runs very fast
    2. Code that is easy to read, understand, and maintain
    3. Code that uses colors
    4. Code that has no errors

11. If you write messy code and don't clean it up, what problem might you face later?

    1. Your code will automatically fix itself
    2. Your computer will stop working
    3. You might have trouble understanding your own code when you look at it again
    4. Messy code actually runs better

    1. Clear variable names, proper spacing, and organized structure
    2. Having no letters at all
    3. Being written in a foreign language
    4. Being written in all capital letters

14. Why is tidy code compared to a tidy room?

    1. Both are only for people who are lazy
    2. Both make computers run faster
    3. Both require buying new furniture
    4. Both are easier to use and find things in

15. What problem does AI help solve with messy code?

    1. AI can turn code into a video game
    2. AI can make the code disappear forever
    3. AI can make code work on any computer
