If you wanted to store the following values, what should you use?

3 string variables, 2 integer variables, 1 floating point

The main difference between a compiled program and an interpreted program is:

interpreted program is converted to executable code

Pseudocode is used by programmers to:

express the logic of a calculation strategy

An array is different to a variable because

an array can contain many data items

During the analysis stage of the problem solving methodology (PSM)

functional and non-functional requirements are determined

A syntax error occurs when:

source code breaks the rules of the programming language

What is a counted loop?

uses a variable as a counter to keep track through the loop

A software interface that offers both affordance and accessibility might mean it:

suggests how users should use an object

What does a compiler do?

converts source code into executable programs

existence, affordance, type
existence, type and range
2
If you wanted to store the following values, what should you use?
3 string variables, 2 integer variables, 1 floating point
one array
3 character variables, 2 floating point variables, 1 integer
3 words variables, 1 digital variable and 2 number variables
3
The main difference between a compiled program and an interpreted program is:
interpreted program is converted to executable code
interpreted program will always run more quickly
compiled program comes in one piece. interpreted is modules
interpreted program is translated into a foreign language
4
Pseudocode is used by programmers to:
discover logical errors in algorithms
produce executable code
express the logic of a calculation strategy
stand in for code that has not been written yet
5
An array is different to a variable because
a variable can be one dimensional or two dimensional
a variable's value can be changed by a program
an array can only hold numbers
an array can contain many data items
6
During the analysis stage of the problem solving methodology (PSM)
the appearance and architecture of the software is decided
functional and non-functional requirements are determined
the software is evaluated to see if it's meeting the goals
the software is tested for bugs
7
A syntax error occurs when:
source code breaks the rules of the programming language
code calculates a wrong answer
source code contains invalid internal documentation
something in the environment causes the program to fail
8
What is a counted loop?
uses a variable to just see what happens
uses a variable as a counter to keep track through the loop
just cycles through until it is true
just cycles through until it is false
9
A software interface that offers both affordance and accessibility might mean it:
is forgiving of user error
is highly functional, and usable by people of all ages
suggests how users should use an object
is cheap, and quick to download
10
What does a compiler do?
converts source code into executable programs
packages up software for distribution to users
gathers together all the files and libraries
helps programmers find errors in programs
