Programming with Blocks III: Bridge to Text

Text must be exact

You can read "draw row 5" and know what it means. A machine cannot.

In the lines below, a bracket is ( or ). An underscore is _.

The exact line: draw_row(5)
Step 1 of 4
  1. The exact line: draw_row(5)
  2. A capital letter: Draw_row(5)
  3. A missing bracket: draw_row(5
  4. A space for the underscore: draw row(5)

The rule

A person forgives a small slip. A machine reads exactly what is typed.

A character is one letter, digit or sign.

One wrong character makes a different line. The machine may refuse that line.

Blocks cannot have these slips. You cannot snap a block in with a missing bracket.

Find the line the machine accepts.
