Chapter 1 C++

Programmer-defined names of memory locations that may hold data are called:

• Operators
• Variables
• Syntax
• Operands

Characters or symbols that perform operations on one or more operands are called:

• Syntax
• Op codes
• Operators
• Program ops

A(n) ____________ is a set of instructions that the computer follows to solve a problem.

• Compiler
• Linker
• Program
• Operator

_______________ are used to translate each source code instruction into the appropriate machine language instruction.

• Modules
• Library routines
• Compilers
• Preprocessor directives

What statement best describes a variable and its primary purpose?

• A variable is a structured, general-purpose language designed primarily for teaching programming.
• A variable is a collection of eight bits.
• A variable is a named storage location in the computer's memory used for holding a piece of information.
• A variable is a "line" of code in the body of a program that may change.

This step will uncover any syntax errors in your program.

• Editing
• Compiling
• Linking
• Executing

_________ is/are used in a program to mark the beginning or ending of a statement, or separate items in a list.

• Separators
• Punctuation
• Operators
• Key Words

A set of well-defined steps for performing a task or solving a problem is known as a(n):

• Hierarchy
• Algorithm
• Central Processing Unit
• Encoded instruction

Words that have a special meaning and may be used only for their intended purpose are known as:

• Operators
• Programmer Defined Words
• Key Words
• Syntax

A variable declaration includes the name of a variable that will be used in a program, as well as:

• The type of data it will be used to hold 
• The operators that will be used on it 
• The number of times it will be used in the program 
• The area of the code in which it will be used
