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






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






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






5. the process of finding and correcting program errors.






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






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






8. Contains all the statements in the module.


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






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






11. 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.






12. Number is a number with decimal places.






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






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






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






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






17. A whole number.






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






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






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






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






22. A specific numeric value.






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






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






25. The process of paying attention to important properties while ignoring nonessential details.






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






27. 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.






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






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






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






31. Describes the state of data that is visible.






32. The act of testing a value.






33. 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.






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






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






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






37. 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.






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






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






40. A memory location in which the computer keeps track of the correct memory address to which it should return after executing a module.






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






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






43. A variable's name.






44. End of file.






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






46. The snarled - unstructured program logic.






47. A named memory location whose value can vary.






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






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






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