Conditional Programming

Subject : it-skills
Instructions:
  • Answer 36 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Use a ______ loop when you always want the task to be performed at least one time regardless of whether it is true or false






2. The _____ loop iterates until a condition is true (as long as the condition is false)






3. A counter that stores the number of iterations that it has performed






4. A loop that iterates a specific number of times






5. Using the counter variable a count controlled loop performs Initialization and test and _______






6. In the _______ 1) A condition is tested for a true/false value and then 2) A statement or set of statements is repeated as long as the condition is true






7. Each execution of the body of a loop






8. A loop that performs an iteration before testing its condition - e.g. Do-While and Do-Until






9. A special value that marks the end of a list of values. Useful when processing a long list of values with a loop






10. The ________ in a count controlled loop: Before the loop begins the counter variable is initialized to a starting value






11. Statements that appear on the lines between the start and end clauses






12. A sum of numbers that accumulates with each iteration of a loop






13. It is _______ to write a count controlled While or Do-While or Do-Until loop






14. loop Anexample of a count controlled loop






15. A ______ loop will not execute unless a condition is true






16. Use a _____ loop where where the condition may be false to start with and you do NOT want the loop to iterate






17. While and _____ are loop(s) that cause a statement to repeat as long as a condition is true






18. The _____ statement is specifically designed to initialize and test and increment a counter variable






19. An ______ goes through all of its iterations for every single outer loop iteration






20. A _______ will not run unless the condition is true






21. The name of the running total variable - the first step in a flowchart for a running total is to set the accumulator to 0






22. Causes a statement or set of statements to execute repeatedly






23. A loop that continues to repeat until the program is interrupted - always avoid using this






24. A loop type that uses a true/false condition to control the number of times it repeats






25. The three types of condition controlled loops are: While and Do-While and ______






26. A loop type that repeats a specific number of times






27. A _____________ loop will always perform at least one iteration even if the condition is false to begin with.






28. The loop(s) that cause a statement to repeat until a condition is true






29. A loop that is inside of another loop - e.g. A clock: Hours and minutes and seconds--3 loops in one location






30. ______ the value during each iteration is the Increment action in a count controlled loop






31. A loop that tests its condition BEFORE performing an iteration - e.g. while loop






32. Use a ________ loop when you want to perform a task until the condition is true






33. The amount by which the counter variable is incremented in a For loop






34. A Do-While loop can always be written in the form of __________ loop






35. The ______ in a count controlled loop is:The loop tests the counter variable by comparing it to a maximum value. If the counter variable is less than or equal to the max value the loop iterates






36. Condition controlled and _______ are 2 categories of loops
