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






2. End of file.






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






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






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






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

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






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






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






11. The used at each end of a flowchart. Its shape is a lozenge.






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






13. A variable's name.






14. Floating-point numbers.






15. A named memory location whose value can vary.






16. 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.






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






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






19. The act of testing a value.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






27. Occurs when repeating logic cannot end.






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






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






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






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






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






33. Describes the extra resources a task requires.






34. The documentation that is outside a coded program.






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






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






37. 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.






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






39. Describes the state of data that is visible.






40. 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.






41. Number is a number with decimal places.






42. A specific numeric value.






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






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






45. Hold the steps you take at the end of the program to finish the application.






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






47. 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.






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






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






50. A literal numeric or string value.
