Q2-W1-IntroToTechnology-Pseudocode and Algorithm

A student follows specific steps to reach class on time each morning. What is this an example of?

• Following a detailed step-by-step plan

• Making uncertain choices at each step

• Guessing about what might happen next

• Doing things in a disorganized way

While making a sandwich, Susan realizes she needs to open the peanut butter jar. Which pseudocode action fits?

• OPEN the jar as a singular process

• END before the sandwich is finished

• OUTPUT sandwich after this process

• SKIP to the final assembly step

In writing pseudocode, what keyword shows the beginning of instructions?

• START at the very first instruction

• REPEAT the next set of steps always

• STOP what you are doing right now

• GET the next needed information

Which action shows the use of input in an algorithm?

• INPUT your name from the keyboard

• OUTPUT the answer on your screen

• PRINT the result to the console

• END the steps by closing the app

When comparing three test scores, what final step displays the answer?

• OUTPUT the highest score found

• INPUT each student name again

• SET a value to each individual

• START the process again now

Jamie writes pseudocode before coding. Why is this useful?

• Plans the logic without language rules

• Forces more coding time each day

• Avoids writing down all her thinking

• Skips the step of organizing ideas

If a pseudocode asks to REPEAT until water boils, what structure is it using?

• Iteration with a loop condition

• Sequential single-step execution

• A final instruction to terminate

• Comparison of two random results

What is the main difference between pseudocode and actual code?

• Pseudocode uses plain English

• Pseudocode always runs in computers

Choosing an action ONLY if it rains is an example of?

• IF/THEN selection in algorithm design

• WHILE loop repeating multiple steps

• OUTPUT step at the very beginning

• SET command for all variables again

In a recipe, which step is similar to an algorithm's END?

• Last step that tells you to stop now

• Any instruction to add new things

• A step where you get new supplies

• First time you start preparing food
