Computer Science Assignment 1
1. What is code? (1.0 pts) Text that is written in a human-readable programming language that a computer can also interpret
2. What does the Python(command line) interpreter’s command prompt look like? (0.5 points) Like a standard command prompt. Black screen, white writing.
3. Name at least one way to deal with a frozen window. (0.5 points) Close the window and try again.
4. What does the reset() command do? (1.0 points) Erases everything drawn by the turtle and moves the turtle back to its starting position

Lesson 2 (4.0 points)
1. What is the radius of a circle? (1.0 points) The distance from the center of the circle to the line of the circle.
2. In the circle() command, what is the steps argument? (1.0 points) The radius of the circle.
3. In the forward() command, what does the number argument inside the parentheses do? (1.0 points) Tells how many pixels forward the turtle will move.
4. What would the command left(-720) do? (1.0 points) Spin the turtle clockwise in two full circles.
Lesson 3 (4.0 points)
1. What is IDLE used for? (1.0 points) Used to run code and programs written in Python.
2. What does the exitonclick() command do? (1.0 points) Turtle command that keeps the turtle graphics window open until someone clicks it with a mouse
3. What is a shell? (1.0 points) A software interface that stands between the user and the lowest-level software program of a computer system, making it easier for the user to work with that computer system.
4. What is a way to tell the Python Shell from the text editor? (1.0 points) A text editor can save the code you write. Python Shell has a command line prompt, and the text editor
