AP Create Task (TimedLoops meeting the AP Board PPR Requirement)

CS Principles AP Prep
1

In the PPR requirements, the AP Board requires a function, parameter, loop, list and conditional.

Question: What is the latest stance on whether or not the Applab TimedLoops count as a loop. Note, these loop do not have a built in variable or a conditional. However, will the AP Board still view Applab’s TimedLoops as meeting the Loop Requirement.

Thanks for your help

I would ask students to not use a timed-loop to illustrate a loop. We don’t know what the FRQs will be like and they won’t be able to answer questions like “how could you change the loop condition” or any question relating to loop conditions with a timed loop.
