Multiple Choice

reusable collection of statements, also referred to as methods, functions. They can be created by the programmer or defined within a library.

• Parameters

• Iteration

• Sequencing

• Procedure

Multiple Choice

or formal arguments, are values that are passed into a procedure as input. They allow for the same procedure to be called but to produce different outcomes for different inputs.

• Iteration

• Parameter

• variables

• nested iteration

Multiple Choice

storing or updating a value in a named variable

• assignment

• statement

• polygon

• operator

Multiple Choice

a loop inside of a loop

• relational operators

• iteration

• loopy loop

• nested iteration

Multiple Choice

a mistake in the algorithm, not the language syntax, that causes it to behave incorrectly

• parameter error

• logic error

• procedure error

• argument

Multiple Select

Consider the following code. What is the primary programming structure? (Select all that apply)

• sequencing

• iteration

• storing

• selection

Multiple Choice

Consider the following code segment. What is the output?

• m,n,p

• 8,6,3

• 8,3,6

• Error- there is no input.

Multiple Choice

a geometric shape where all sides are of an equal length and all angles have equivalent values

• statement

• pentagon

• assignment

• polygon

Multiple Choice

a line of executable code

• operators

• iteration

• statement

• polygon

Multiple Choice

execution of an algorithm or program, step by step, from top to bottom, where one line of code finishes before the one below it begins. One of the three fundamental algorithm or programming structures.

• statement

• sequential

• iteration

• assignment

Multiple Choice

?? are used to script math equations and string handling

• iteration

• polygons

• sequential

• operators

Multiple Choice

the fundamental program structure that repeats an algorithm for a purpose - either a set number of times or until a condition is met. One of the three fundamental algorithm or programming structures.

• iteration

• polygon

• assignment

• operators

Multiple Choice

-a high level textual algorithm written in informative text that mimics a programming language but cannot be executed by a computer.

• Debug

• Pseudocode

• High-Level Programming Language

• Machine Language

Multiple Choice

to identify and remove errors from a computer program or code

• Natural Language

• Machine Language

• Pseudocode-a

• Debug

Multiple Choice

a programming language that is easier to use,

may incorporate natural language and hide or automate some processes. High-level of

abstraction.

• Pseudocode

• High-Level Programming Language

• Natural Language

• Machine Language

Multiple Choice

- language that is spoken and understood by humans but cannot be

processed by the computer. (i.e. English)

• Binary

• Natural Language

• Pseudocode-a

• High-Level Programming Language

Multiple Choice

- is a collection of binary digits or bits that the computer reads and

interprets. Machine language is the only language a computer is capable of understanding, directly.

• High-Level Programming Language

• Natural Language

• Computer Language

• Pseudocode

Multiple Choice

a feature that allows a sprite to create a copy of itself while the project is running. Each one of these has the same costumes, sounds, and scripts as the original but is otherwise independent

• duplicate

• actor

• clone

• stage

Multiple Choice

simplified representations of more complex objects of phenomena that are developed to explain the subject, allow further study of the subject, allow for the testing of different conditions on the subject, or to formulate and research hypotheses about the subject. They use algorithms and abstraction.

• abstraction

• simulations and models

• sequencing

• algorithm

Multiple Choice

a collection of program statements that are part of program

• strings

• numbers

• code segments

• programming segments
