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. Causes a statement or set of statements to execute repeatedly






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






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






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






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






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






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






8. loop Anexample of a count controlled loop






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






10. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






17. A loop that iterates a specific number of times






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






26. Each execution of the body of a loop






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






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






29. Condition controlled and _______ are 2 categories of loops






30. 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






31. Use a ______ loop when you always want the task to be performed at least one time regardless of whether it is true or false






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






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






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






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






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