Description
Fundamentals of
Programming
1. Syntax is the rules
that you must follow when coding programs.
a. True
b. False
2. Strings and numbers
are two simple data types used in computers.
a. True
b. False
3. Syntax errors must
be corrected before your program will execute.
a. True
b. False
4. A variable is a
data element that is created in secondary storage.
a. True
b. False
5. Two basic
approaches used to design program logic include using flowhcharts and pseudocode.
a. True
b. False
6. A runtime error typically means that your
program “crashes” with a fatal error.
a. True
b. False
7. It is a good
practice to compare data with different types.
a. True
b. False
8. Structured
programming provides only one entry point and one exit point for a logic
structure.
a. True
b. False
9.Concatenation and
addition are operations that basically do the same thing because they both use
the "+" sign for the operator.
a. True
b. False
10. Placing comments
in acomputer program make it less efficient and waste time and money.
a. True
b. False
11. Which function is not used to convert data
types and values:
a. int
b.input
c. str
d. float
12. Which of the following is not a valid
relational operator:
a. =
b. >
c. <
d. ==
13. A loop that uses a counter requires:
a. initialize counter,
test for completion, break
b. continue, return,
break
c. initialize counter,
test for completion, process block, increment counter
d. process block,
return
14. A string can be
described as a(n):
a. instruction
b. integer
c. float
d. sequence
15. If A is a string, and B is a string, then the
statement C=A+B would:
a. add A and B
b. set B equal to C
c. create a new string
C byconcatenating A and B
d. set A equal to B
16. ing that contains value “PYTHON”, what would A[2:4] represent:
a. "A24"
b. "PY"
c. "TH"
d. "YT"
17. A tuple can best be described as:
a. function
b. string
c. sequence
d. number
19.A type error means
that the programmer has:
a. made a typing
mistake
b.programmed a syntax
error
c. mixed data types in
an operation
d. mixed upper and
lowercase data
20. Making decisions
can be made using:
a. single alternative
b. dual alternative
c. multiple
alternative
d. all of the above
21. For each
statement, enter a number from the column at the right that best matches what
the statement represents.
