Scratch Programming Practice Exam

Scratch Programming is  programming language suitable for beginners as it provides the facility of programming visually by using drag-and-drop interface. The language makes it easy for students and  beginners to grasp programming concepts easily and develop stories, animations, and games without writing code. The language provides blocks to be used for visual development, and the block refer to specific code commands.
