Question 1

In a selection structure, you perform an action or task, and then you perform the next action in order.

Accepted Answer

In a selection structure, the next action performed depends on the conditions specified in the selection statement. It may not necessarily be the next action in order.

Question 2

The following pseudocode is an example of a ____ structure. get firstNumber
Get secondNumber
Add firstNumber and secondNumber
Print result
A)sequence
B)decision
C)loop
D)nested

Accepted Answer

The pseudocode is following a sequence structure where each line of code is executed in order, starting from getting the first number, then getting the second number, adding them together, and finally printing the result.

Question 3

In a structured program, any structure can be nested within another structure.

Accepted Answer

In a structured program, any structure, such as conditional statements or loops, can be nested within another structure. This is a common practice to create more complex programs with multiple levels of logic.

Question 4

The case structure is a variation of the sequence structure and the do loop is a variation of the while loop.

Accepted Answer

The case structure is not a variation of the sequence structure; it is a control flow statement that allows for multi-way branching. The do loop and while loop are both loop constructs, but the do loop ensures the loop body is executed at least once before the condition is tested, whereas the while loop tests the condition before executing the loop body.

Question 5

No matter how complicated it is, any set of steps can always be reduced to combinations of the two basic structures of sequence and loop.

Accepted Answer

The answer of No matter how complicated it is, any...

Question 6

Programs that use _____ code logic are unstructured programs that do not follow the rules of structured logic.
A)case
B)loop
C)spaghetti
D)nested

Accepted Answer

Spaghetti code refers to unstructured code that is difficult to read and maintain because it lacks clear organization and flow. It is often the result of excessive use of goto statements or poorly designed control structures.

Question 7

if-else examples can also be called ____ because they contain the action taken when the tested condition is true and the action taken when it is false.
A)do loops
B)single-alternative selections
C)repetition
D)dual-alternative selections

Accepted Answer

Dual-alternative selections, also known as if-else statements, have two branches of code which are executed based on whether the tested condition is true or false. The code executed in each branch represents the alternative actions to be taken depending on the result of the condition.

Question 8

With a(n)____, you perform an action or task, and then you perform the next action, in order.
A)ordered structure
B)sequence problem
C)sequence structure
D)loop sequence

Accepted Answer

In a sequence structure, each action or task is performed in order, one after the other.

Question 9

The following pseudocode is an example of a ____ structure.

A)sequence
B)decision
C)loop
D)nested

Accepted Answer

The presence of an if-then statement indicates a decision structure.

Question 10

Fill in the blank in the following pseudocode: 
A)then
B)while
C)do
D)else

Accepted Answer

The answer of Fill in the blank in the following...

Question 11

Pseudocode uses the end-structure statement ____ to clearly show where the structure ends.
A)end
B)endstructure
C)endloop
D)endif

Accepted Answer

Pseudocode uses the "endif" statement to clearly indicate the end of an if-then structure. The other options, "end," "endstructure," and "endloop," are used to indicate the end of other structures in pseudocode, such as a program or a loop.

Question 12

You may hear programmers refer to looping as ____.
A)execution
B)selection
C)iteration
D)case

Accepted Answer

Looping is referred to as iteration in programming, as it involves repeatedly executing a block of code until a certain condition is met.

Question 13

Structured programs use spaghetti code logic.

Accepted Answer

Structured programs are designed with a clear and organized logic flow, avoiding the confusion and difficulties of spaghetti code.

Question 14

The following pseudocode is an example of a ____ structure. 
A)sequence
B)decision
C)loop
D)nested

Accepted Answer

The answer of The following pseudocode is an example of...

Question 15

The action or actions that occur within a loop are known as a(n)____.
A)loop body
B)action body
C)loop internals
D)structure body

Accepted Answer

The action or actions that occur within a loop are known as the loop body. It executes repeatedly until the loop condition is false. The loop body may be a single statement or a block of statements enclosed in curly braces.

Question 16

As a general rule, an eof question should always come immediately after an input statement because the end-of-file condition will be detected at input.

Accepted Answer

The end-of-file condition is detected at input, so an eof question should come immediately after an input statement to check if the end-of-file has been reached.

Question 17

Because you may stack and nest structures while retaining the overall structure, it might be difficult to determine whether a flowchart as a whole is structured.

Accepted Answer

The ability to stack and nest structures in a flowchart can make it challenging to identify the overall structure of the chart, making it difficult to determine if it is structured or not.

Question 18

Structured programming is sometimes called goto-less programming.

Accepted Answer

Structured programming emphasizes the use of subroutines, loops, and conditional statements rather than goto statements for controlling program flow.

Question 19

A structured program must contain a sequence, selection, and loop structure.

Accepted Answer

The answer of A structured program must contain a sequence,...

Question 20

Repetition and sequence are alternate names for a loop structure.

Accepted Answer

Repetition and sequence are not alternate names for a loop structure; repetition refers to the concept of repeating a set of instructions (which is what a loop does), while sequence refers to the order in which instructions are executed, which is a separate concept from looping.

Quiz 3: Understanding Structure

In a selection structure, you perform an action or task, and then you perform the next action in order.

The following pseudocode is an example of a ____ structure. get firstNumber Get secondNumber Add firstNumber and secondNumber Print result

In a structured program, any structure can be nested within another structure.

The case structure is a variation of the sequence structure and the do loop is a variation of the while loop.

No matter how complicated it is, any set of steps can always be reduced to combinations of the two basic structures of sequence and loop.

Programs that use _____ code logic are unstructured programs that do not follow the rules of structured logic.

if-else examples can also be called ____ because they contain the action taken when the tested condition is true and the action taken when it is false.

With a(n) ____, you perform an action or task, and then you perform the next action, in order.
