In CodeHS, what is the consequence of not loading images into the project directory?

If images are not loaded into the project directory, they simply cannot be accessed by the program. This means that when the program attempts to display or use those images during runtime, it will not find them, leading to a situation where the images are absent from the output. As a result, the graphics portion of the program will not function as intended, and the visual representation that relies on those images will be lost.

The other choices reference potential implications that either don't apply directly to the absence of images or misrepresent the nature of program execution. For instance, the program won’t crash just because images are missing; it might continue running, but without the images it was supposed to display. Similarly, the idea that the project would run faster isn’t accurate; performance is unrelated to the loading of images. Lastly, while errors could arise elsewhere in the code, they are not a guaranteed result of not having images in the project, especially if those images are not critical to the main functionalities of the program.
