About this resource
This quiz focuses on computer science fundamentals, specifically program analysis and computational thinking concepts appropriate for grades 11-12. The questions assess students' ability to trace through code execution, analyze algorithmic behavior, and understand data requirements in software applications. Students need strong logical reasoning skills to interpret loop structures, conditional statements, and variable manipulation in programming contexts. They must also demonstrate systems thinking by identifying necessary data inputs and outputs in real-world application scenarios. The core concepts include understanding iteration patterns, conditional logic flow, data dependencies in software systems, and the relationship between program inputs and intended functionality. These skills form the foundation for advanced programming and software design principles. Created by Ms Seccafico, a Computers teacher in US who teaches grade 11-12. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for formative assessment in Advanced Placement Computer Science courses, helping students practice the analytical thinking required for program comprehension. Teachers can use these questions as warm-up activities to activate prior knowledge before introducing new programming concepts, or as review material when preparing students for standardized assessments. The quiz works particularly well for homework assignments that encourage students to think deeply about code behavior without requiring them to write programs from scratch. It effectively supports instruction by building the critical thinking skills students need to debug programs, optimize algorithms, and design user-centered applications. The content aligns with AP Computer Science Principles standards, particularly those addressing algorithms and programming practices, data and information processing, and the impact of computing systems.

DineOutHelper is a mobile application that people can use to select a restaurant for a group meal. Each user creates a profile with a unique username and a list of food allergies or dietary restrictions. Each user can then build a contact list of other users of the app.
A user who is organizing a meal with a group selects all the members of the group from the user’s contact list. The application then recommends one or more nearby restaurants based on whether the restaurant can accommodate all of the group members’ allergies and dietary restrictions.
Suppose that Alejandra is using DineOutHelper to organize a meal with Brandon and Cynthia.
Which of the following data are needed for DineOutHelper to recommend a restaurant for the group?
I. Each group member’s list of food allergies or dietary restrictions
II. Alejandra’s geographic location
III. The usernames of the people on Brandon and Cynthia’s contact lists
I and II only
I and III only
II and III only
I, II, and III
