1. What is pseudocode?

   1. A way to make computers draw pictures and animations
   2. A type of computer programming language used by experts
   3. A plan written in regular words before writing real code

3. What can an AI helper do when you ask it to write pseudocode?

   1. It can test your code on different computers
   2. It can write the final program for you instantly
   3. It can show you a plain-word plan for a game or app
   4. It can fix all bugs in your program

4. In the pseudocode example 'When the player presses space, jump,' what does the word 'when' tell us?

   1. The code should stop running
   2. The player will lose the game

   2. A condition that must be true at the start
   3. A single action that happens once
