• Loop

• Object

• Functional

• Selective

How is structured programming similar to a recipe?

• The steps must be performed in a certain order to produce the proper result.

• The steps can be altered in any way without affecting the results.

• The steps may be performed in any order to produce the proper result.

• The steps must be repeated to produce the proper result.

Which type of language is translated entirely into machine language before use?

• Compiled

• Machine

• Interpreted

• Assembly

Which statement is true regarding compiled and interpreted languages?

• Compiled languages are translated in batches, whereas interpreted languages are translated entirely before use.

• Both compiled and interpreted languages are translated entirely before use.

• Interpreted languages usually execute faster than compiled languages.

• Compiled languages usually execute faster than interpreted languages.

Mario has begun learning a programming language. He thought that he would write the code in plain English. However, programming languages require that he learn and follow a special set of rules referred to as:

• syntax

• executing

• assembly

• machine language

Mrs. Bachand is teaching her students about programming code. On the first day she has the students write out the instructions on how they brush their teeth. She explains that making a plan to perform a task (or solve a problem) using a set of step-by-step instructions is called:

• interpreting instruction

• running a program

• writing an algorithm

• creating syntax

Amber is programming a robot with a color sensor to follow a black curvy line on a white floor. She has programmed the robot to move forward, curving to the left if it senses black on the floor, and curving right if it does not sense black. She is hoping this will allow the robot to follow the black line. Which type of control structure has Amber written?

• Loop

• Sequence

• Selection

• Functional

Consider the following pseudocode:

Notice the blank in Step 4 of the code. Which loop programming statement correctly completes the blank?

• Else

• If

• While

• For

Luigi has created a program for a game that has a "monster" character appear from a "cave" in the middle of the screen, move randomly off the edge of the screen and then reappear in the cave. It repeats while the game is played. What is another term for this loop control structure?

• Iteration

• Object

• Selection

• Sequence

Which type of statement is an example of a selection programming structure?

• do while

• for

• if/else

• while
