WGU D278 - SCRIPTING AND PROGRAMMING FOUNDATIONS / FINAL EXAM REVIEW / ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (A+ GUIDE SOLUTION) Program - CORRECT Answer Consists of instructions executing one at a time. Input - CORRECT Answer A program gets data, perhaps from a file, keyboard, touchscreen, network, etc. Process - CORRECT Answer A programs performs computations on that data, such as adding two values like x + y. Output - CORRECT Answer A programs puts that data somewhere, such as to a file, screen, network, etc. Computational thinking - CORRECT Answer Creating a sequence of instructions to solve a problem. Algorithm - CORRECT Answer A sequence of instructions that solves a problem. Statement - CORRECT Answer Carries out some action and executing one at a time. String literal - CORRECT Answer Consists of text (characters) within double quotes, as in "Go #57!". Cursor - CORRECT Answer Indicates where the next output item will be placed in the output. Newline - CORRECT Answer A special two-character sequence n whose appearance in an output string literal causes the cursor to move to the next output line. The newline exists invisibly in the output. Comment - CORRECT Answer Text added to a program, read by humans to understand the code, but ignored by the program when executed. Whitespace - CORRECT Answer Refers to blank spaces (space and tab characters) between items within a statement, and to newlines. Whitespace helps improve readability for humans, but for execution purposes is mostly ignored. Pseudocode - CORRECT Answer Text that resembles a program in a real programming language but is simplified to aid human understanding. Assignment statement - CORRECT Answer Assigns a variable with a value, such as x = 5. An assignment statement's left side must be a variable. The right side is an expression.Examples: x = 5, y = a, or z = w + 2.
