What is the general direction of flow in a flowchart?
Left to Right
Right to Left
Top to Bottom
Bottom to Top
Which of the following is NOT an advantage of using an algorithm?
It is dependent on a specific programming language
It provides a step-wise representation of a solution
It is easy to debug
It follows a definite procedure
What is the purpose of a connector in a flowchart?
To indicate the beginning or end of a process
To connect different parts of a flowchart without intersecting lines
To perform calculations
To represent input and output operations
Why should you use a flowchart before writing a program?
Because drawing is more fun than coding
Because debugging a bad program is like finding a needle in a haystack
Because computers refuse to run programs without flowcharts
Because flowcharts can double as modern art
What happens if you don’t follow a flowchart properly?
The program might develop self-awareness and rebel
You might create a loop that traps you in an infinite debugging cycle
Nothing, it’s just a suggestion... right?
Your computer will burst into flames
Why is the decision symbol in a flowchart a diamond?
Because making decisions is as hard as finding a real diamond
Because round symbols rolled off the paper
Because decisions are expensive like diamonds
Because rectangles were already taken
What should you do if your flowchart keeps looping infinitely?
Call it a "feature" and market it as artificial intelligence
Blame the computer and restart it
Add a stop condition before your brain overheats
Give up and become a professional artist instead
What is the main advantage of a flowchart over written instructions?
It makes you look super professional when explaining things
It lets you use cool shapes instead of boring words
It makes it easier to see where you totally messed up
All of the above
Draw a flowchart that calculates the area of a rectangle.
Instructions:
Your flowchart should take input for the length and width.
It should multiply these values to get the area.
Finally, it should display the result.
Create a flowchart that determines if a number is even or odd.
Instructions:
The program should ask for a number.
If the number is divisible by 2, print "Even."
Otherwise, print "Odd."
OR
Draw a horse.
Draw a celebrity
(extra points if we can guess who it is)

Based on user input
One after the other, in order
Only if a condition is met
Repeatedly until a condition is false
Given the following pseudocode:
Start
num = -5
If num > 0
Display "Positive"
Else
Display "Negative"
EndIf
End

Positive
Negative
No output
Error due to syntax
A CASE statement is best used when:
You need to test multiple values for a variable
You want to loop through a set of instructions
You need to choose between only two options
You are performing arithmetic calculations
How many times will the following loop execute?
Start
x = 1
While (x <= 5)
Display x
x = x + 1
EndWhile
End
4 times
5 times
6 times
Infinite times
What will happen if the loop condition is incorrectly set, such as While (x > 0) without decrementing x inside the loop?
The loop will run indefinitely
The loop will execute only once
The loop will not execute at all
The program will produce an error
Start
For i = 1 to 3
For j = 1 to 2
Display "*"
EndFor
EndFor
End
How many times will the * be displayed?
3
5
6
9

num = 10
While (num > 0)
Display num
num = num - 2
EndWhile
End
What will be the last number displayed?
0
2
1
-1
Start
total = 0
For i = 1 to 3
total = total + i
EndFor
Display total
End
What will the output be?
3
6
9
10
Start
pin = 0
While pin != 1234
Display "Enter PIN"
pin = get value
EndWhile
Display "Correct PIN entered"
End
What will the result be if we run this program?
It will terminate once the correct PIN (1234) is entered
It will run indefinitely
It will never execute the loop
It will display "Correct PIN entered" without user input
A WHILE loop is preferable over a FOR loop when:
The number of iterations is known in advance
The loop should execute at least once
The number of iterations is unknown and depends on a condition
You are iterating over a fixed range of numbers

If (num > 10)
If (num < 20)

Display "Out of Range"
