• Iterative statement

• Conditional statement

• Loop statement

• Jump statement

Answer explanation

Loops are iterative statements and a while loop is a type of loop.

Which statement is used to execute a block of code repeatedly as long as a certain condition is true?

• if statement

• for statement

• switch statement

• break statement

Which data type is used to represent true or false values in programming?

• String

• Character

• Integer

• Boolean

In programming, a constant is:

• A named container that stores data

• A reserved keyword in the programming language

• A variable whose value cannot be changed once assigned

• An operator that performs mathematical calculations

The first generation of programming languages is known as:

• High-level languages

• Low-level languages

• Machine languages

• Assembly languages

The process of converting high-level programming code into machine code is performed by:

• Compilers

• Interpreters

• Translators

• Assemblers

Pseudocode and flowcharts are primarily used for:

• Executing a program on the computer

• Compiling and debugging a program

• Representing algorithms in a clear, structured manner

• Writing machine-level code for optimization

In a flowchart, a parallelogram symbol is used to represent:

• Start or end of the flowchart

• Decision-making (conditional) statement

• Input/output operation

• Process with data input or output

Which statement is used to exit a loop before its normal termination condition?

• continue

• break

• return

• exit
