• Selection allows us to repeat steps in a solution

• Selection allows us make our solution more efficient

How many paths can be followed from a decision?

• As many as is needed

• Three

• Two

• An algorithm is a process of baking bread.
• An algorithm is a software used to compute numbers.
• An algorithm is the process of breaking problems.

In programming, what is iteration?

• The repetition of steps within a program

• The order in which instructions are carried out

• A decision point in a program

What is iteration also known as (select 2)?

• Repeating

• Debugging

What is the name given to a loop that continues indefinitely?

• An infinite loop

• A forever loop
