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






2. 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.






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






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






5. Action is taken only when the Boolean expression in the decision is true.






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






7. Describes variables that are declared within the module that uses them.






8. A program development tool that lists tasks - objects - and events.






9. the process of finding and correcting program errors.






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






11. 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.






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






13. Marks the end of the module and identifies the point at which control returns to the program or module that called the module.


14. The shaped like a diamond and used to represent decisions in flowcharts.






15. Describes the state of data that is visible.






16. 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.






17. Number is a number with decimal places.






18. Describes the extra resources a task requires.






19. Programs that do not follow the rules of structured logic.






20. A statement that provides a data type and an identifier for a variable.






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






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






23. End of file.






24. runs from start to stop and calls other modules.






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






26. A repetition of a series of steps.






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






28. 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.






29. The memory address identifier to left of an assignment operator.






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






31. The entire set of actions an organization must take to switch to using a new program or set of programs.






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






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






34. The documentation that is outside a coded program.






35. A variable's name.






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






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






38. Includes the module identifier and possibly other necessary identifying information.






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






40. Contains all the statements in the module.


41. Indicates and output operation and is represented by a parallelogram in flowcharts.






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






43. The snarled - unstructured program logic.






44. 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.






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






46. Floating-point numbers.






47. The documentation within a coded program.






48. 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.






49. A specific numeric value.






50. A literal numeric or string value.
