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. Occurs when repeating logic cannot end.






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






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






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






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






6. 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.






7. 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.






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


9. 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.






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






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






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






13. The snarled - unstructured program logic.






14. The documentation that is outside a coded program.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






23. End of file.






24. 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.






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






26. One that represents only one of two states - usually expressed as true or false.






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






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






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






30. The act of testing a value.






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






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






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






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






35. Describes the state of data that is visible.






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






37. The documentation within a coded program.






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






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






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






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






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






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






44. A specific numeric value.






45. 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.






46. 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.






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






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






49. Floating-point numbers.






50. A whole number.
