Epic Skills Assessment Fictional Programming Language Logic 4

Question 1

In FictoScript, a function declared with `fn*` instead of `fn` is:

Accepted Answer

A generator function that can yield multiple values lazily

Answer

`fn*` defines a generator that uses `yield` to produce values one at a time without computing all results upfront.

Question 2

Which FictoScript keyword is used to handle errors from a function that may fail?

Accepted Answer

rescue

Answer

FictoScript uses `rescue` blocks (not `catch`) to handle errors thrown during execution.

Question 3

In FictoScript, what is the result of applying `map(fn(x) => x * x, [1, 2, 3, 4])`?

Accepted Answer

[1, 4, 9, 16]

Answer

`map` applies the squaring function to each element, producing a new list of squared values.

Question 4

FictoScript's `record` type differs from a plain `map` type in that a record:

Accepted Answer

Has fixed, named fields with defined types, while map allows arbitrary keys

Answer

A `record` has a fixed schema with typed fields, providing structure guarantees that a `map` does not.

Question 5

What does the FictoScript pipe operator `|>` do?

Accepted Answer

Passes the result of the left expression as the first argument to the right function

Answer

`|>` chains function calls by passing the left-hand value into the next function, improving readability of transformation pipelines.
