ICT UNIT 1

What tips can we use to ensure the pseudocode is easy to turn into actual code, covering every process step?

•  is easily understood by the target audience

• is easily translated into computing language

• describes the complete process without leaving anything out

• Because it is actual code so there are NO steps of turning into actual code

What is the difference between an algorithm and pseudocode?

• An algorithm provides step-by-step problem-solving instructions, while pseudocode is a simplified, English-based guide for planning a program before coding.

• An algorithm is a simplified, English-based guide for planning a program before coding while pseudocode provides step-by-step problem-solving instructions,

• An algorithm is a program that helps us code, pseudocode is Java, and it uses different languages with an algorithm

• An algorithm is Java, it uses different languages with an algorithm, pseudocode is a program that helps us code

What is the primary purpose of ASCII in computing?

• To store images in a compressed format.

• To execute programming code directly.

• This allows computers to understand how to represent text.

• All of the above

How does a switch function inside the network?

• A switch connects multiple networks together.
• It connects devices in a network, allowing them to exchange data packets.

• A switch encrypts data for secure transmission.
• A switch acts as a firewall to block unwanted traffic.

What do variables function inside a computer program?

• Variables are only for storing images and videos.

• Variables are used to execute functions in a program.

• to store information to be referenced and controlled

• Variables are temporary files created during program execution.

 How does a switch function within a network?

• It connects users, applications, and devices within a network to enable communication and resource sharing.

• A switch amplifies signals to extend network range.
• A switch encrypts data for secure transmission.
• A switch connects multiple networks together.

What function does a program's conditional operator provide?

• It manages memory allocation for variables.

• It allows for looping through data.

• It is used to define functions in a program.

• To check a condition that is applied to one or two true or false statements.

What are some common examples of data types used in programming?

• Integer

• String

• Float

• Boolean

What defines a string in a program, and how is it represented?

• A string is a numeric value representing a number.

• A string is a collection of functions in a program.

• A string is a type of variable that cannot be changed.

• A string in a program is a sequence of characters, including letters, numbers, symbols, or spaces, and is represented by covering the characters in single or double quotation marks.

Why is indentation important in programming when dealing with conditions?

• To understand the structure of their programs to human readers.

• Indentation is used to increase the speed of the program.

• Indentation has no effect on the execution of the code.

• Indentation is only necessary for loops, not conditions.
