Describe what the code to the left
does:

Required

1

Two people working together to create a computer program. One person, called the driver, writes the code and explains the logic, while the other person, called the navigator, reviews it and gives feedback.

Required

1

An ordered set of instructions that are used to carry out a task.

Required

1

An action or occurrence that happens during runtime that will trigger a response or behavior by the software. Examples of events include user-initiated events, such as clicking a button, or external events, such as the device receiving an SMS text message.

Required

1

A block of code that is triggered when a certain event happens.

For the next four
 questions, assume that the output gear is on the right side of the gear train. 

Required

1

For this gear train, does the output speed increase, decrease, or stay the same?
