How to run a program

Some test items will require you to run a program or to execute it. To execute a program, click the Run button on the bottom-left of the editor.

How to use the code renderer

The code renderer is where you can find code that you can run or edit. In some cases, the code renderer is read-only. When a renderer is read-only, you can view the code but you cannot make changes to it.

In some cases, the code renderer is editable. You may modify or add to the code it contains in order to answer a question.

Whether the renderer is editable or not, the cue is in the questions.

Non-editable renderer

If a question requires you to only execute a program, then the code cannot be edited. The purpose of a non-editable renderer is to show you how a code works when you execute it.

Sometimes, a code may generate an error message. That is perfectly fine. The purpose of an incorrectly written code is to get you used to identifying where the error lies. Being able to understand an error message is the first step towards fixing a code.

Click the Run button to execute the program. The renderer above is non-editable.

Editable renderer

If a question requires you to correct or edit a code, then the code in the renderer can be edited. To edit a code in a renderer, click the character or line that you want to edit.

Click the render to select the area or character that you want to edit.
