Question

How could the following code be adapted for a baseball score keeping?

1 def scoreUpdate(value):
2 # update the score value with the points earned
3 return(value + 6)
4 def bonus(value):
5 return(value + 1)
6 score = 6
7 score = scoreUpdate(score)
8 print("after update " + str(score))
9 score = bonus(score)
10 print("after bonus "+ str(score))

(1 point)

To adapt the code for baseball scorekeeping, we generally want to change how points are scored. In baseball, typically, a run is worth 1 point, so we should update the scoring logic accordingly.

Among the options given, the most relevant adaptation would be:

1. **Change the 6 to a 1 in line 6.**

This adjusts the initial score to represent the number of points typically scored for a run in baseball (which is usually counted as 1 point).

The adapted code would look like this:

```python
def scoreUpdate(value):
# update the score value with the points earned
return(value + 1) # Change the 6 to a 1 here

def bonus(value):
return(value + 1) # Bonus can be retained if needed

score = 1 # Change the 6 to a 1 in line 6
score = scoreUpdate(score)
print("after update " + str(score))
score = bonus(score)
print("after bonus " + str(score))
```

With this modification, the score will properly reflect the increments typical in a baseball game, where each run adds one point to the score. The bonus could either remain in the game logic or be adjusted depending on specific baseball rules being implemented (like extra innings or certain game scenarios).

Thus, the correct adaptation is primarily to change line 6 to set the starting score to 1.
