Module 5 Review

What is pseudocode?

• Algorithms written in a natural language

• Algorithms written in a formal language

• An updated/improved version of technology

• a data type where characters appear between quotation marks

What is brainstorming?

• coming up with many ideas or solutions.

• breaking down a problem into smaller steps.

• thinking of the steps in an algorithm.

• writing a rough draft of your code.

Why do programmers write in pseudocode before starting to program with code?

• It helps them organize and break down what they need to do.

• It ensures that bugs will never happen in your code

• It allows your program to run on any kind of computer

• There is no reason

Writing pseudocode falls under which process in the program development process?

• Define the problem

• Brainstorm

• Decompose the problem

• Iterate

Which is the first step in the program development process?

• Define the problem

• Brainstorm

• Decompose the problem

• Iterate

Why does order matter in an algorithm?

• Order doesn't matter!

• Later steps in an algorithm often depend on earlier steps

• It prevents syntax errors from happening

• More complex processes must happen at the end

What color do integers appear as in our Codesters coding environment?

• Orange

• White

• Blue

• Green

What's the error in this code?

• The order of steps is wrong

• person1 should not have quotation marks around it

• hello! should not have quotation marks around it.

• the equal sign (=) should be a double equal sign (==)

What changes should be made to the following program?

• Delete line 3

• Switch lines 1 and 2

• Switch lines 2 and 3

• No changes are needed!

Which of the following is an integer?

• 5

• "2"

• 5.2

• three
