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






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






3. The documentation that is outside a coded program.






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






5. 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.






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






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






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






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






10. A whole number.






11. Occurs when repeating logic cannot end.






12. 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.






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






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






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






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






17. A literal numeric or string value.






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






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






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






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






22. 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.






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






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






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






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






27. Contains all the statements in the module.

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






29. A repetition of a series of steps.






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






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






32. the process of finding and correcting program errors.






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






34. 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.






35. Describes the state of data that is visible.






36. 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.






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






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






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






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






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

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






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






44. A variable's name.






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






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






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






48. 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.






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






50. Number is a number with decimal places.
