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






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






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






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






5. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






22. A loop that iterates a specific number of times






23. Each execution of the body of a loop






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






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






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






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






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






29. 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






30. loop Anexample of a count controlled loop






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






33. Condition controlled and _______ are 2 categories of loops






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






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






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