Algorithm Design

What is an algorithm?

• A flowchart

• Step by step instructions used to solve a problem

• A decision

• A flowchart or pseudocode

An algorithm can be written as a pseudocode?

• True

• False

Flowcharts use English-type statements/sentences.

• True

• False

Flowcharts represent algorithms as diagrams

• True

• False

Which statement is used to declare a variable in algorithms?

• Initialization

• Prompt

• Declaration

• Input

In an algorithm, what does a prompt statement typically do?

• Display a message to the user

• Declare a variable

• Initialize a variable

• Assign a value to a variable

In an algorithm, what does an assignment statement do?

• Reserves memory for a variable

• Assigns a value to a variable

• Displays a message to the user

• Receives data from the user

In an algorithm, the statement in algorithms that reserves memory for a variable is:

• Initialization

• Assignment

• Input

• Declaration

Which of the following represents a declaration statement for the instruction: "Declare a variable to store the side length of the square"?

• Print square_length

• Declare square_length as real

• Read square_length

• Print "The length of the side of the square is", square_length

Which of the following represents an output statement for the instruction: "Output a menu with options for the user to choose from"?

• Display "Choose an option: 1. Digi Loan 1 2. Voice Only Packs 3. Prime Brawta Bundle"

• Display Menu

• Read menu_option

• Declare menu_option as integer
