AAP-2.C - Evaluate expressions that use arithmetic operators.

AAP-2.C.2 - The exam reference sheet provides a MOD b, which evaluates to the remainder when a is divided by b. Assume that a is an integer greater than or equal to 0 and b is an integer greater than 0. For example, 17 MOD 5 evaluates to 2.

AAP-3.A - For procedure calls: a. Write statements to call procedures. b. Determine the result or effect of a procedure call.`

AAP-3.A.5 - The exam reference sheet provides procName (arg1, arg2, …) as a way to call PROCEDURE procName(parameter1, parameter 2, …) which takes zero or more arguments; arg1 is assigned to parameter1, arg2 is assigned to parameter2, and so on.
AAP-3.A.7 - The exam reference sheet provides the RETURN(expression) statement, which is used to return the flow of control to the point where the procedure was called and to return the value of expression.
AAP-3.A.8 - The exam reference sheet provides result ß procName(arg1, arg2, …) to assign to result the “value of the procedure” being returned by calling PROCEDURE procName(parameter1, parameter2, …)

AAP-3.C - Develop procedural abstractions to manage complexity in a program by writing procedures.

AAP-3.C.1 - The exam reference sheet provides PROCEDURE procName(parameter1, parameter2, …){<block of statements>}which is used to define a procedure that takes zero or more arguments. The procedure contains block of statements.

AAP-3.B.2 - Procedural abstraction allows a solution to a large problem to be based on the solution of smaller subproblems. This is accomplished by creating procedures to solve each of the subproblems.
AAP-3.B.3 - The subdivision of a computer program into separate subprograms is called modularity.
