Instructions:
  • Answer 50 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. The memory that the instance of the class has. That memory can be saved and accessed later as long as the instance exists.






2. Tell Alice3 how to implement the instructions in a program.






3. An objects sense of direction.






4. The three dimensional x - y - and z coordinates that each object resides on. They can be manipulated to change the object's position and appearance.






5. This control performs a process while a condition is true; otherwise it will stop the instructions.






6. Called a 'requirements specification' in computing - this is a story in the form of a problem to solve or task to perform.






7. A defined start and end point in a quality assurance program.






8. Describes how to perform the procedure.






9. A set of conditions or variables with which a test engineer will determine if a software program is working correctly.






10. A lexical unit used to perform basic mathematical operations by taking two operands and returning the result of the mathematical calculation.






11. Notes that help other programmers understand what your program does.






12. Set of operations or tasks that instances of a class can perform. When a method is invoked - it will perform the operation or task specified in the source code.






13. The general set of instructions and rules that objects will follow.






14. The more generic - overarching class of a group of classes.






15. A process to identify and remove repetitive programming statements from a main program - and put them into their own procedure.






16. Each subclass receives the methods and properties of its superclass.






17. An object of a class.






18. Used to pass values to methods to specify how objects are to move - or to tell objects what type of response we expect when we ask objects a question.






19. A field used to store information about the class to use immediately or later.






20. Defines what all instances of each class are capable of doing. The behavior of each instance is determined by the source code of its class.






21. Notes that help other programmers understand what the code in your program does.






22. More specific types of a class.






23. When an object unintentionally overlaps with another.






24. Programming that allows the programmer to manipulate objects.






25. A systematic process for determining user expectations.






26. Access - return type - name - and parameters for a method.






27. Tell the objects in the animation how to perform tasks.






28. A special kind of method that is automatically executed whenever a new instance of the class is created.






29. A list of instructions that are required to accomplish a task.






30. An object that holds multiple variables. An index can be used to access the variables.






31. Symbols that compare two random values in a method.






32. A piece of program code that defines how the object should execute a task.






33. Series of illustrated images that represent the main scenes in the animation.






34. An error or break in a software program.






35. A keyword that indicates that a new object is being created.






36. Control structure that allows you to select specific sections of code to be executed.






37. A sequence of actions that simulate movement.






38. Each subclass can use (inherits) the methods from its superclass.






39. Symbols that can be used to combine multiple boolean expressions into one boolean expression.






40. A loop that causes the code to keep executing. The code does not stop because the end to the code isn't established.






41. A method call instructs the instance to perform an operation ortask. You can read the method to understand what operation or task is to be performed.






42. A specification - such as a blueprint or pattern and a set of instructions - of how to construct something.






43. A set of instructions - or programmed code - for how the object should perform a task.






44. Boolean operators (AND - OR and NOT).






45. All objects have which two characteristics?






46. A software tool used by computer programmers to develop software applications that includes tools for writing - editing - compiling - deploying - and debugging programs.






47. A technique used to command newly-created instances to perform different actions.






48. This control performs a process if a condition is true; otherwise it performs another process.






49. Control structure that allows you to execute specific sections of the code a number of times.






50. Applying the same test case to many parts of a software program.
