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, you will typically want to reflect runs scored by teams (which is usually 1 point per run). Here’s how the changes would look to make it more suitable for that purpose:

  1. Change how points are scored - In baseball, each run scored is usually counted as 1.
  2. Remove the bonus section or modify it (if you want it to reflect specific game rules like scoring in certain situations).
  3. Ensure that the score reflects the correct accumulation of runs based on typical baseball rules.

Based on your provided options, here is how to adapt the original code to properly account for baseball scoring:

Adapted Code

def scoreUpdate(value):
    # update the score value with the points earned
    return(value + 1)  # Update to add only 1 point for a run
                     
score = 0  # Start with a score of 0
score = scoreUpdate(score)  # Update the score with 1 run
print("after update " + str(score))  # Print current score

Evaluating Your Changes:

  1. Change the 6 to a 1 in line 6. (Appropriate for starting at 0 runs)
  2. Change line 3 from 6 to 1. (Appropriate for point scoring)

Based on the provided responses, the best single change to apply to correctly adjust this for baseball would be:

  • Change the 6 to a 1 in line 6.
  • Replace 6 with 1 in line 3 and remove the bonus section. (While removing the bonus section isn't required to make it baseball relevant, it's a viable option if you don't want to handle bonuses at all.)

Correct Responses:

Given the options, the correct response to make the scorekeeping align with baseball would be either of these:

  • Change the 6 to a 1 in line 6.
  • Replace 6 with 1 in line 3 and remove the bonus section.
