What enables a programmer to determine the order in which instructions are executed, as well as the number of times (or even if) an instruction is executed?

What are the three main programming structures?

Sylvia creates a program that asks and stores a user's name. It then displays the user's name every time there is a new prompt for the user to complete. What is used to store the name in the computer's memory that the computer can access and manipulate, when running Sylvia's program?

Romina wants to input whole numbers (that do not contain a decimal) into variables in the inventory program she is coding. What variable data type should she use?

Charles is coding a role-playing game. He has created code that asks a player for their name and assigns it to the "name" variable. Charles assigns the first value for the variable as Player1 until a player inputs their information. What is the term for assigning this value for the "name" variable?

Carrie is using object-oriented programming to code her latest video game. In the game, she has objects that are little monsters. Each is unique in their own way (size, color, etc.). To create each of these unique looking objects, she needs to change the:

Sean does not understand the relationships between objects, values, properties and classes. His technology teacher explains:

Kiera is writing the code for a new video game. She is creating a character who waves to other characters. Every time the game player says "hello" to the character (by pressing the "H" key), the character waves back. The code to make the character wave is very long, so Kiera decides to name the segment of code WAVE. Now every time she needs the wave series of code she simply inputs WAVE. What has Kiera created?

Mason is programming a robot that will use a sensor to follow a black line on a white floor. Which type of expression will he use for the black or white sensor that will return results in the value of either true or false?

Consider this recipe algorithm:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Grease and flour a cake pan

Add the next ingredient to the large bowl

Stir the contents of the bowl until blended

Pour the batter into the cake pan

Bake 30 minutes

Which instruction in this algorithm would be considered a loop structure?

During testing, your development team identified some problems in the first program draft. What is the next step you need to complete?

Consider this example:

if <this is true>

do this

else

do something else

Lucy is sharing her program with a student at another school. She is having a video conference with the students and shows a section of code that she is working on. Lucy describes it as the decision control structure. The other student is confused. What other name can this structrure be called?

Which program translates a number of programs instructions, waits for computer to execute them, and then translates the next series, until the program is fully executed?

The robotics team has created a solid design that can physically accomplish all of their tasks for competition. Now they must create the program that will control the robot. The code could be massive, and be difficult for them to write and for the computer to execute. They decide to break problems into smaller, logical problems to make them easier to execute. Which type of programming is this?

Mr. Simmons asks the class to create an algorithm to find out if each number on a list is odd or even. Peter creates a flowchart to help visualize his algorithm. The first step is to select a number from the list. What is the next logical step to solve the problem?

Using short informal phrases to describe program functions (such as "if total is more than 10, add discount") is called:

Aaron would like to create a program that allows the user to find the average of five numbers. He has asked for your help. Below is the pseudocode Aaron has written:

Enter five numbers

Add the numbers entered

Multiply the sum of numbers entered by 5

display the result

Melissa is testing a new video game for her roommate. She is playing the game and gets to the door at the end of the first level. As she opens the door, the game just stops running. What is most likely causing the game to stop?

Scott has written a program to add together a group of numbers and then divide the total by the number of items added to produce the average value. When he tested the program, he noticed that the program is multiplying the total by number of items, not dividing as he intended. Which type of programming error has mostly likely occurred?

Luigi has created a program for a game that has a "monster" character appear from a "cave" in the middle of the screen, move randomly off the edge of the screen and then reappear in the cave. It repeats while the game is played. What is another term for this loop control structure?

Amber is programming a robot with a color sensor to follow a black curvy line on a white floor. She has programmed the robot to move forward, curving to the left if it senses black on the floor, and curving right if it does not sense black. She is hoping this will allow the robot to follow the black line. Which type of control structure has Amber written?

What enables a programmer to determine the order in which instructions are executed, as well as the number of times (or even if) an instruction is executed?

Consider the loop control structure in programming. Which term describes a loop that continues repeating without a terminating (ending) condition?

Which type of control structure includes a set of instructions that the computer follows one by one from top to bottom.

Which of the following is used to store data in the computer's memory that the computer can access and use when running a program?

The program that Mauricio is creating to track his allowance, must store and access variables in the form of dollars and cents. Which variable data type should he use to store numbers that contain a decimal?

Chris must use a Boolean operator in his programming class assignment. Which operator is an example of a Boolean operator?

You have written a segment of code that includes the instructions to make a character jump. Your program will need to use these instructions multiple times. To save yourself the trouble of writing the code over and over again, you decide to name this section of code JUMP and then call the section of code using only the name JUMP. What type of programming component is JUMP?
