Which term is defined as the rate at which frames in an animation are shown, typically measured in frames per second?

• A. Boolean
• B. If-Statement
• C. Frame Rate
• D. Animation

Answer: (C)

Frame rate is the rate at which frames in an animation are shown, typically measured in frames per second. This measure determines how smooth the motion appears—the higher the frame rate, the more frames are shown each second, filling in the motion more finely and making movement look fluid. It’s a specific timing property of an animation, unlike a boolean (true/false value) or an if-statement (a conditional line of code). While animation refers to moving pictures in general, frame rate zeroes in on how fast those frames are displayed.
