Programming and Logic Lesson 2

Which type of error causes a program to produce incorrect results, such as the sum of two values instead of the difference of two values?

• Syntax

• Logic

• Runtime

• System

An algorithm is the process of:

• devising a set of step-by-step instructions to solve a problem or perform a task.

• using a pencil and paper to work through an existing program by hand.

• determining whether an existing program performs its intended task and works efficiently.

• translating a program's instructions into machine language.

Which type of error is usually identified by the compiler or interpreter?

• Runtime

• Syntax

• System

• Logic

Which tool used to plan computer programs is an English-like representation of program steps?

• Flowchart

• Debugging

• Pseudocode

• Assembly

The general problem-solving strategy includes the following activities: understand the problem, devise a plan, test the plan, review the result, and revise. What is the next step in the process?

• Return to Step 2 and revise until the most efficient method is found

• Create procedures needed to execute the solution.

• Return to Step 1 and repeat the process until the solution is found.

• Create a series of statements using code.

Which tool used to plan computer programs is a pictorial representation of program steps?

• Assembly

• Flowchart

• Debugging

• Pseudocode

Logical thinking is:

• . the process of solving a problem.

• progressively moving from one connected thought to another.

• systematic steps to correct an error.

• the steps required to create a solution.

There are _____ types of programming errors.

• 2

• 5

• 4

• 3

Which of the following is not a goal of testing?

• To determine if the program works efficiently.

• To ensure that it solves the original problem.

• To determine if there are errors in the program.

• To determine if performs as intended.

What is not included in a testing plan?

• Debugging

• Desk checking

• Testing individual components

• Creating new algorithms
