Abstractions and Algorithms

What is data in the context of the provided scenarios?

• The steps needed to solve a problem

• The ingredients or inputs needed to create a solution

• The final outcome of a process

• A type of algorithm used to process information

What does the 'Visitor Directions Data' include?

• A detailed map of the entire city

• Names of places and location of places

• Only the names of the streets

• Category data for buy, eat, do, sleep, and contact as well as color for parts of the town

What is an algorithm?

• A programming language

• The steps to solve a problem

• A problem that needs to be solved

• A type of data used in computer programming

How many algorithms are used if you take the visitor directly to the museum without any stops?

• One

• Two

• Three

• None

What is abstraction in the context of the Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich problem?

• The flavor of the jelly

• A set of steps that are an algorithm but are set aside, hidden from direct view

• The brand of peanut butter

• The type of bread used

How do you open a jar according to the abstraction provided?

• Shake the jar until the lid pops open

• Grip jar with one hand and turn the lid to the left with the other hand until the lid is loose

• Pull the lid up without turning

• Push the lid down and turn right

What is the purpose of creating an abstraction in programming?

• To make the code longer and more complex

• To save steps and reduce complexity

• To confuse the programmer

• To add more details to the algorithm

Is the abstraction an algorithm?

• No, because it is too simple to be considered an algorithm

• Yes, because it has steps to follow to solve a problem

• No, because it does not solve a problem

• Yes, but only if it is written in a programming language

How many times is the action to open a jar indicated in the process of making a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich?

• It is not mentioned

• Twice

• Once

• Three times

What does the 'Cell Phone Message Data' include?

• The model of the cell phone

• The network provider information

• Security unlock information, name and/or email address, text message

• The battery life of the cell phone
