A movement in the opposite direction before the desired movement. When one throws a ball, the final action is that the hand moves forwards and the ball is released. Usually to give a larger force, the hand moves backward, before the throw. This backward movement is known as counter movement. A good example is the counter movement jump, where a person, from a standing position, goes into a squat and then jumps. Counter movement can occur at many body parts including legs, hips, shoulders and hands.

A relation with exactly one output for each input?

It's a type of function


It you use a counter to control a loop for ten repetitions and express the condition as WHILEcounter 10 which one what is true A counter is a constant and 10 is a constant counter is a con?

Assuming the choices are: A counter is a constant and 10 is a constant. or A counter is a constant. I'd have to say that that makes no sense, since a constant is something that cannot be changed, and a counter changes every iteration. However, maybe they're teaching something different in school these days. However, I know for sure that 10 is a constant, since it is a defined real number who's value will never change (the number ten will always refer to having exactly ten of something, not eleven or nine.), so - Since 10 is a constant: "A counter is a constant and 10 is a constant" must be true. Maybe repost it, if I'm misunderstanding the question?


What is the difference between a for loop and a while loop in java?

ComparisonThe conditions for both the 'while' and 'for' loop are exactly the same, but in each flow structure the conditions are placed in different locations. A 'for' loop places the full condition within the 'for' loop whereas the 'while' loop places the counter variable outside of the loop.The 'for' loop is used when the length of the loop is known whereas the 'while' loop is usually used when the length of the loop is unknown.'for' loop exampleWithin the parentheses the complete condition is contained. The condition has 3 parts delimited by a colon ';'. The first part sets the counter 'int i' to 0, the second part tells the loop to stop when the counter is 5. The third part tells java to increment the counter by 1 value each time the loop iterates.for ( int i = 0; i < 5; i++)'while' loop exampleWith the 'while' loop the counter is initialized outside of the 'while' loop. Inside the parentheses of the loop the condition is set to stop looping when the counter reaches a value of 5. Inside of the 'while' loop block the counter is set to increment by 1 value each time the loop iterates.int i = 0;while ( i < 5 ) {i++}
