• instructions for a computer to follow

• breaking a problem down into chunks

• a flowchart

Breaking a problem down into a number of sub problems, so each sub-problem accomplishes a identifiable task, is called...

• Decomposition

• Abstraction

• Analysis

• Processing

Process of taking away or removing irrelevant characteristics in terms of the problem being solved in order to reduce it to something simpler to understand is called...

What is the table called?

• Testing Table

• Trace Table

• Truth Table

• Technical Table

What should be the value in the yellow box?

• 1

• 3

When would this function return TRUE?

• When the num is equal to 0

• When the num is even

• When the num is odd

• When 2 = 0

What does MOD do?

• finds the remainder when dividing two numbers

• like division but returns a whole number or integer

• divides the first value by the second value and returns a decimal

• 'powers of'

num is an example of a

• parameter

• constant

• varied number

• return value

The difference between a function and a procedure is that a function MUST

• return a value

• contain a loop

• be passed a parameter

• contain MOD

A value that doesn't change when the program is running is called a

• variable

• constant

• loop

• condition
