2
Why is the planning process important in programming?
It allows for immediate coding.
It eliminates the need for hardware.

3
What is one advantage of interpreted languages?
They turn source code into binary ahead of time.
They are platform-independent.
They have limited access to system resources.
They are faster than compiled languages.
4
What should be done before starting to code a program?
Decide what the program should do.
Decide what the program will look like.
Ignore planning and start coding immediately.

6
What is sequential flow in a program?
Code that runs in a random order

Code that never runs
7
What is a loop in programming?
A variable that stores data
A function that runs once

8
What does the term "syntax" refer to in computer programming?
The speed at which a program runs.
The rules for how to write the language
The type of computer used to run the program.
The color scheme of the code editor
9
What is the main purpose of pseudocode?
To compile the program into machine language
To describe what the code will do using plain language
To create a user interface for the program
To write the final code for a program
10
Why are comments ignored by the computer?
Because they are written in a different language
Because they are placed at the end of the code
Because they are not part of the executable code
Because they are written in uppercase letters
11
What is the main purpose of a flowchart in programming?
To test the program for errors

12
What is a loop in programming?
A sequence of instructions that is executed randomly.
A sequence of instructions that is executed repeatedly.
A sequence of instructions that is executed only once.
A sequence of instructions that is never executed.
13
What is a function call in programming?
A command to create a new variable
A command to delete data
A command to run another part of the program and return
A command to stop the program
14
What makes it easier for humans to read and write instructions for computers?
Programming languages
Hardware
Binary code
Machine language
15
What does a diamond shape in a flowchart indicate?

A process
16
What keyword is used in pseudocode to represent a loop with a condition at its beginning?
CASE
WHILE
REPEAT-UNTIL
FOR
17
What is the purpose of adding comments to your code?

18
What is an interpreted language?
A language that runs instructions in source code when you run application
A language that is only used for web development
A language that converts source code into binary ahead of time
A language that cannot be used on multiple platforms
19
Why are compiled languages often used for resource-intensive programs like high-end video games?
Because they run quickly and efficiently
Because they can only be used on one type of computer
