To adapt the given code for baseball scorekeeping, we need to consider how scoring works in baseball. In baseball, a typical scoring event might be the addition of runs, and we often have an incremental scoring system that doesn't necessarily align with points being scored in other sports.
In the code you provided, the following changes can be made:
- Change the points earned per update - In baseball, each run counts as a single point. Thus, we should replace the 6 with 1 in the
scoreUpdate
function. - Remove the bonus section - If we are strictly counting runs in a standard scorekeeping fashion, we likely won't need an additional bonus as described in this scenario.
Therefore, the adaptation of the code would look as follows:
def scoreUpdate(value):
# update the score value with the points earned
return(value + 1) # Change 6 to 1
score = 6
score = scoreUpdate(score)
print("after update " + str(score))
Now, to answer the multiple-choice responses you provided based on this modification, the appropriate choice would be:
"Replace 6 with 1 in line 3 and remove the bonus section."
