R_Quiz on Algorithms and Programming Languages

What is an algorithm?

• A step-by-step process that describes how to solve a problem in a way that always gives a correct answer.

• A random process that sometimes solves a problem.

• A method to store data.

• A type of computer hardware.

What is the role of sequencing in an algorithm?

• It allows the steps to be executed in any order.

• It guarantees the algorithm's efficiency.

• It ensures the steps are followed in a specific order.

• It increases the complexity of the algorithm.

What does selection in an algorithm allow?

• It allows the algorithm to execute steps based on a Boolean expression.

• It allows the algorithm to execute steps in a random order.

• It allows the algorithm to skip steps.

• It allows the algorithm to execute steps without any conditions.

What is iteration in the context of algorithms?

• Repetition of steps until a certain condition is met.

• Skipping steps to save time.

• Executing steps in a random order.

• Repeating steps without any condition.

What is abstraction in computer science?

• A simplified representation of something more complex.

• A detailed representation of a simple concept.

• A method to increase complexity.

• A way to store data.

What is a low-level language?

• A machine-level language that is easy for computers to understand.

• A high-level language that is easy for humans to understand.

• A language used for web development.

• A language used for database management.

What is a high-level language?

• A language written as text, easy to understand, and simpler to fix and debug errors.

• A language written in binary code.

• A language used only for operating systems.

• A language that is difficult to understand.

What is an operating system?

• Software that manages computer hardware resources and provides common services for computer programs.

• A type of computer hardware.

• A programming language.

• A web browser.

What is a browser?

• An application program that provides a way to look at and interact with all the information on the World Wide Web.

• A type of operating system.

• A programming language.
