VB.NET

Which would be the best way to create a variable to store a real number

• Dim r as real

• Dim r as decimal

• dim number as real

• dim number as decimal

which of the following is correct to find if a number n is between 1 and 5 inclusive

• IF n <=1 and >=5

• IF n > 1 or n < 5

• IF n >=1 or n <= 5

• IF n >=1 and n <=5

An algorithm is...

• A sequence of step by step instructions to complete a task

• Breaking a problem down into smaller problems

• Removing the unnecessary detail from a problem

• A program written to solve a problem

Decomposition is ...

• A sequence of step by step instructions to complete a task

• Breaking a problem down into smaller problems

• Removing the unnecessary detail from a problem

• A program written to solve a problem

Abstraction is...

• A sequence of step by step instructions to complete a task

• Breaking a problem down into smaller problems

• Removing the unnecessary detail from a problem

• A program written to solve a problem

Which algorithm would be best to search for a value in a list of 1,000,000 ordered numbers

• Bubble search

• Binary sort

• Binary search

• Linear search

Which algorithm would be best to search for a number in a list of 1,000,000 random numbers

• Linear sort

• Linear search

• Merge search

• Binary search

Which algorithm would sort 1,000,000 random numbers in the least time

• Merge search

• Bubble sort

• Merge sort

• Bogosort

Why would a programmer use bubble sort instead of merge sort

• It takes less time to sort numbers

• It is easier to program

• The efficiency gains from merge sort are negligible for small sets of values

• it is a good way to show off their programming skills

Which is not a valid VB data type

• Integer

• Bool

• Char

• String
