What is a control structure in pseudocode?

• A control structure is a type of variable.

• A control structure in pseudocode is a construct that controls the flow of execution.

• A control structure is a data storage method.

Define the term 'data type' in the context of pseudocode.

• A data type in pseudocode defines the kind of data a variable can store and the operations applicable to it.

• A data type in pseudocode refers to the length of a variable.

How do you declare a function in pseudocode?

• function functionName(parameter1, parameter2) // function body

• CREATE FUNCTION functionName(parameter1, parameter2) { // function body }

• DEFINE functionName(parameter1, parameter2) // function body

What is the purpose of a loop in pseudocode?

• To execute a block of code only once.

• To repeat a block of code multiple times based on a condition.

• To store data in a variable.

• To create a function that can be called later.

Explain the difference between 'if' and 'else' statements.

• 'if' is used for loops; 'else' is for functions.

• 'if' checks a condition; 'else' executes when the condition is false.

• 'if' executes a block of code; 'else' checks a condition.

• 'if' and 'else' are interchangeable in programming.

How do you iterate through an array using a loop?

• Apply the map() function to modify the array.

• Use a while loop with a counter variable.

• Use a for-in loop to access array elements.

• Use a for loop or array.forEach() to iterate through the array.

• Procedures in pseudocode are irrelevant to code structure.

• Procedures in pseudocode are only used for debugging purposes.

• Procedures in pseudocode reduce the overall efficiency of the code.
