Question 1

A(n) ____ is a set of step-by-step instructions that accomplish a task.&#10;A) program&#10;C) instruction set&#10;B) algorithm&#10;D) command structure

Accepted Answer

An algorithm is a set of step-by-step instructions designed to perform a specific task or solve a particular problem, which is the definition provided in the question.

Question 2

Programmers must use the repetition structure in every program they write.

Accepted Answer

Not every program requires a repetition structure; it depends on the specific needs and logic of the program. Some simple programs can be written without using loops or any form of repetition.

Question 3

Without the repetition structure, if you needed an instruction to repeat 20 times you would have to write that instructions 20 times in your program.

Accepted Answer

Without the repetition structure (loops), you would need to manually write the instruction each time you want it executed, leading to writing the same instruction 20 times for it to repeat 20 times.

Question 4

Control structures or ____ structures control the flow of a program's logic.&#10;A) flow&#10;C) logic&#10;B) program&#10;D) execution

Accepted Answer

The answer of Control structures or ____ structures control the...

Question 5

The redo structure is also referred to as a loop or as iteration.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The redo structure is also referred to...

Question 6

The ____ structure makes a decision and then takes an appropriate action based on that decision.&#10;A) repetition&#10;C) command&#10;B) sequence&#10;D) selection

Accepted Answer

The selection structure evaluates a condition and then directs the flow of control to one or more paths based on the outcome of the evaluation.

Question 7

The ____ structure in a computer program directs the computer to process the program instructions, one after another, in the order listed in the program.&#10;A) sequence&#10;C) repetition&#10;B) selection&#10;D) series

Accepted Answer

The sequence structure in a computer program is fundamental, directing the computer to process instructions one after another in the order they appear in the program. This linear execution path is the simplest form of control flow.

Question 8

When used in a computer program, the selection structure alerts the computer that a decision needs to be made, and it provides the appropriate action to take based on the result of that decision.

Accepted Answer

The selection structure, often implemented through if-else statements or switch-case constructs, allows a program to choose different paths of execution based on the evaluation of conditions, effectively making decisions.

Question 9

When used in a program, the ____ structure directs the computer to repeat one or more instructions until some condition is met, at which time the computer should stop repeating the instructions.&#10;A) redo&#10;C) selection&#10;B) repetition&#10;D) sequence

Accepted Answer

The repetition structure, also known as a loop, directs the computer to repeat instructions until a certain condition is met.

Question 10

All computer programs, no matter how simple or how complex, are written using one or more of three basic structures: sequence, selection, and repetition.

Accepted Answer

These three basic structures—sequence, selection, and repetition—are indeed the building blocks of all computer programs. Sequence refers to the linear execution of instructions one after another. Selection introduces decision-making, allowing the program to choose different paths based on conditions (e.g., if-else statements). Repetition enables the program to loop through a set of instructions until a condition is met (e.g., for loops, while loops). Together, these structures allow for the creation of any algorithm.
