What is a List in the context of programming?

• A) A repetitive portion of an algorithm

• B) An ordered collection of elements

• C) A method for referencing elements using numbers

• D) A process of accessing each item in a list one at a time

What does the term 'Element' refer to in a list?

• A) A unique identifier for each item

• B) A method for looping through a list

• C) An individual value in a list that is assigned a unique index

• D) The process of naming a collection of data without referencing the details

What is an Index?

• A) A collection of data given a specific name

• B) A condition that must be met within a loop

• C) A common method for referencing the elements in a list or string using numbers

• D) A loop that never ends

What is Iteration in programming?

• A) Giving a collection of data a name without referencing the details

• B) A repetitive portion of an algorithm which repeats a specified number of times or until a given condition is met

• C) An ordered collection of elements

• D) A method for referencing elements using numbers

What does 'Infinite loop' mean?

• A) A loop that processes each item in a list one at a time

• B) A loop that has a clear starting and ending point

• C) A loop where the ending condition will never evaluate to true

• D) A loop that manages complexity in programs

What is the purpose of Data abstraction in programming?

• A) To repeat a portion of an algorithm a specified number of times

• B) To reference elements in a list or string using numbers

• C) To manage complexity in programs by giving a collection of data a name without referencing the specific details of the representation

• D) To ensure that a loop ends when a condition is met
