What is a variable in programming?

A named storage location in memory that can hold a value

Which of the following best describes a variable's scope?

visibility & accessibility to different parts of the program

What is a characteristic of a function?

It can take inputs and return outputs

What is a function in programming?

A block of code designed to perform a particular task

What is a loop in programming

A sequence of instructions that is repeated until a condition is met

In bubble sort, what happens if no swaps are needed during a pass?

The array is already sorted, and the algorithm stops

What is a bubble sort?

Swaps adjacent elements if they are in the wrong order

False
True
2
What is a variable in programming?
A named storage location in memory that can hold a value
A loop that iterates a fixed number of times
A constant value that does not change
A function that returns a specific value
3
Which of the following best describes a variable's scope?
The size of the data it can hold
visibility & accessibility to different parts of the program
The lifetime of the variable during program execution
The speed at which the variable is accessed
4
What is a characteristic of a function?
It cannot be called more than once
It can take inputs and return outputs
It always executes in the same time frame
It always modifies global variables
5
What is the primary disadvantage of bubble sort?
It requires additional memory
It has a high time consumption for large datasets
It is not stable
It cannot handle negative numbers
6
Under which condition is bubble sort optimal?
When the list elements are random
When the list is already sorted
When the list is sorted in reverse order
When the list is very large
7
What does a variable represent in programming?
A fixed value that cannot change
A syntax error
A list of predefined functions
A placeholder for storing data values
8
What is a Insertion sort?
Inserts elements into their correct position one by one
Uses a pivot to sort elements
Swaps adjacent elements if they are in the wrong order
Divides the array into sub-arrays
9
When is a conditional statement typically used?
To sort arrays
To initialize variables
To declare functions
To determine the flow of control in a program
10
What is a Quick sort?
Divides the array into sub-arrays
Swaps adjacent elements if they are in the wrong order
Inserts elements into their correct position one by one
Uses a pivot to sort elements
11
What is a function in programming?
A block of code designed to perform a particular task
A method to store data
An error handler
A type of sorting algorithm
12
What is a loop in programming
A condition that checks if a statement is true or false
A function that calculates the sum of numbers
A sequence of instructions that is repeated until a condition is met
A method to sort elements
13
In bubble sort, what happens if no swaps are needed during a pass?
The array is already sorted, and the algorithm stops
The pivot is changed
The sorting process continues
The algorithm is optimized for the next pass
14
What is a bubble sort?
Inserts elements into their correct position one by one
Uses a pivot to sort elements
Divides the array into sub-arrays
Swaps adjacent elements if they are in the wrong order
15
What is a loop in programming?
A variable that holds a single value
A sequence of instructions that is repeated until a condition is reached
An error in a program
A function that performs a specific task
