Question 8

9.If at all possible,straight through logic should be used in multiple IF/THEN/ELSE instructions.

Question 9

14.The use of the OTHERWISE in the case logic structure may be used as error detection.

Question 10

8.Only assignment instructions are allowed in the true and false statements.

Question 11

3.A decision table allows the developer to make sure all possible combinations of results of the conditions have actions.

Question 12

16.Using the decision straight through logic structure for multiple decisions:

A)Has the true proceeding to the next instruction and the false executing an action.
B)Has the true proceeding to another IF/THEN/ELSE instruction and the false executing an action.
C)Has the false proceeding to the next instruction and the true executing an action.
D)None of the above.

Question 13

12.The OTHERWISE is a catchall choice when there are no other matches in the case logic structure.

Question 14

10.The decision table is an important communication tool when working with a client.

Question 15

18.A decision table consists of:

A)The conditions and the actions.

Question 16

19.The types of nested IF/THEN/ELSE instructions are:

A)Positive and negative logic structure.

C)Positive logic structure ,negative logic structure,and a logic structure that has actions or other IF/THEN/ELSE instructions on both the true and false parts of the instruction.
D)Positive,negative,and straight through logic.

Question 17

instructions allows the computer to choose a path from many paths of execution according to specific conditions.

Question 18

23.The indented algorithm of a negative logic nested IF/THEN/ELSE looks like:

A)A sideways V on the left side.
