Programming Logic And Design

Subject : it-skills
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. Action is taken only when the Boolean expression in the decision is true.






2. Hold the action that results when the Boolean expression in the decision is true.






3. Contains information that expands on what appears in another flowchart symbol; it is most often represented by a three-sided box that is connected to the step it references by a dashed line.






4. The feature of modular programs that assures you a module has been tested and proven to function correctly.






5. A program development tool that delineates input - processing and outputs tasks.






6. The documentation that is outside a coded program.






7. A classification that describes what values can be assigned - how the variable is stored - and what types of operations can be performed with the variable.






8. 1) understand the problem. 2) Plan the logic. 3) Code the program. 4)Use software to translate the program into machine language. 5) Test the program. 6) Put the program into production. 7) Maintain the program.






9. A decision holds the action or actions that execute only when the Boolean expression in the decision us false.






10. The similar to variable - except that its value cannot change after the first assignment.






11. A measure of the degree to which all the module statements contribute to the same task.






12. The process of breaking down a program into modules.






13. The sequence of steps necessary to solve any problem.






14. You perform an action or task - and then you perform the next action - in order. A sequence can contain any number of tasks - but there is no option to branch off and skip any of the tasks.






15. Occurs when a correct word is used in an incorrect context.






16. One that can hold digits - have mathematical operations performed on it - and usually can hold a decimal point and a sign indicating positive or negative.






17. The equal sign; it is used to assign a value to variable or constant on its left.






18. Consists of all the supporting paperwork for a program.






19. A logical feature in which expressions in each part of a larger expression are evaluated are evaluated only as far as necessary to determine the final outcome.






20. Small program units that you can use together to make a program. Programmers also refer to modules as subroutines - procedures - functions - or methods.






21. A named memory location whose value can vary.






22. Indicates an input operation and is represented by a parallelogram in flowcharts.






23. The symbol that you can use to combine decisions so that two or more conditions must be true for action to occur.






24. Can hold text that includes letters - digits - and special characters such as punctuation marks.






25. Occurs when repeating logic cannot end.






26. A memory device; variable identifiers act as mnemonics for hard to remember memory addresses.






27. The act of assigning its first value - often at the same time the variable is created.






28. Describes the entry of data items into computer memory using hardware devices such as keyboards and mice.






29. A specific numeric value.






30. Describes the stat of data items when a module can recognize them.






31. Can contain alphabetic characters - numbers - and punctuation.






32. An unnamed constant whose purpose is not immediately apparent.






33. the process of finding and correcting program errors.






34. A specific group of characters enclosed within quotation marks.






35. End of file.






36. Include steps you must perform at the beginning of a program to get ready for the rest of the program.






37. A name to describe structured programming - because structured programmers do not use a "go to" statement.






38. A preselected value that stops the execution of a program.






39. Diagrams used in mathematics and logic to help describe the truth of an entire expression based on the truth of its parts.






40. The feature of modular programs that allows individual modules to be used in a variety of applications.






41. Assigns a value from the right of an assignment operator to the variable or constant on the left of the assignment operator.






42. Describes the process of naming variables and assigning data type to them.






43. The format naming variables in which the initial letter is uppercase - multiple-word variable names are run together - and each new word within the variable name begins with an uppercase letter.






44. All the text - numbers - and other information processed by computer.






45. The act of containing a task's instructions in a module.






46. A diagram that illustrated modules relationships to each other.






47. Describes the operation of retrieving information from memory and sending it to device - such as a monitor or printer - so people can - interpret - and work with the results.






48. The act of testing a value.






49. A program include the steps that are repeated for each set of input data.






50. Describes the state of data that is visible.
