Pseudocode and Planning Algorithms Quiz

What is pseudocode?

• A visual guide for creating algorithms

• A programming algorithm that contains iteration, sequencing, and selection

• An informal language used to develop algorithms

• A formal language used to develop algorithms

What is the purpose of pseudocode?

What is sequencing in an algorithm?

• An algorithm that repeats steps until a condition is met

• An algorithm where steps are carried out one after another

• An algorithm that compares values and returns true or false

• An algorithm that executes a portion of code only if a certain condition is met

What is selection in an algorithm?

• An algorithm where steps are carried out one after another

• An algorithm that repeats steps until a condition is met

• An algorithm that executes a portion of code only if a certain condition is met

• An algorithm that compares values and returns true or false

What is the purpose of comparison operators?

• To identify and create algorithms that contain iteration, sequencing, and selection

• To allow anyone to understand the algorithm
