Week 8

Giving instructions to a computer is what is called in essence ...

• software

• computing methodology

• computer programming

• hardware

Notes that you make in your algorithm to another person when reading your program are called

• comments

• variables

• explanations

• compilers

In python, a line containing a comment starts with the symbol

• <--!

• //

• #

• ;

An example of an output statement is

• //print("output")

• #This is an output

• int output = 1;

• print("output)

Containers for storing data values are called

• boxes

• methods

• comments

• variables

If we are creating a variable to store a user's first name, it will make sense to call the variable ...

• "lastName"

• "person"

• "age"

• "firstName"

Variable names cannot have...

• spaces

• uppercased letters

• lowercased letters

• numbers

The following instruction adds data to a variable

• name = "John"

• print(name)

• name.nextLine("John")

• "John" = name

The other way we can add data to variables is to allow the user to do it. This is an example in Python

• name = input()

• input = name()

• name() = input

• input() = name

Adding strings (letters and words) together with a “+” sign is called

• merging

• concatenation

• grouping

• inconsistency
