AND CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS (VERIFIED
ANSWERS) |ALREADY GRADED A+
A loop consisting of a loop variable initialization, a loop expression, and a loop
variable update that typically describes iterating for a specific number of times. -
ANSWER for Loop
First step in the waterfall approach. Defines a program's goals. - ANSWER Analyst
to Design
The progress of writing, compiling, and testing a small amount of code, then writing,
compiling, and testing a small amount more (an incremental amount), and so on. -
ANSWER Incremental development
A function input specified in a function definition. - ANSWER parameter
A number with a fractional part, even if that fraction is 0. - ANSWER Floating-point
literal
used to run a program's statements - ANSWER interpreter
The second step in the waterfall approach of SDLC. Defines specifics of a program. -
ANSWER Analysis- Design-Implement
Text (characters) within double quotes. - ANSWER String Literal
A program performs computations on that data, such as adding two values like x + y.
- ANSWER Process
Modeling language for software design that uses different types of diagrams to
visualize the structure and behavior of programs. - ANSWER Universal Modeling
Language
A graphical language for creating computer programs. - ANSWER flowchart
A program can be built by doing small amounts of each SDLC phases in sequence,
then repeating. - ANSWER Agile or spiral approach
A function may return one value and does so by assigning a return variable with the
return value. - ANSWER Return variable
Supports decomposing a program into objects. - ANSWER object-oriented
language
, Each element's location number of an array. - ANSWER Index
A loop that repeatedly executes the loop body while the loop's expression evaluates
to true. - ANSWER while loop
Any function input values that appear within ( ), and are separated by commas if
more than one. - ANSWER Arguments
Engineers have reduced switch sizes by half about every 2 years. - ANSWER
Moore's Law
Can be a number, a variable name (numApples), or a simple calculation like
(numApples + 1). - ANSWER Expression
Dividing a nonzero floating-point number by zero. - ANSWER Infinity or -Infinity
American Standard Code for Information Interchange. Code that is the numerical
representation of a character. Ex. Z would be stored in a computer as 1011010. -
ANSWER ASCII
A list of statements, each statement carrying out some action and executing one at a
time. - ANSWER Program
Statement that returns the specified value and immediately exits the function. -
ANSWER return statement
An invocation of a function's name, causing the function's statements to execute. -
ANSWER function call
Any letter (a-z, A-Z), digit (0-9), or symbol (~, !, @, etc.). - ANSWER Characters
A single 0 or 1. - ANSWER bit
A decision and its two branches. IF the decision's expression is true then the first
branch executes, ELSE the second branch executes. - ANSWER If-else
A program construct that repeatedly executes the loop's statements (known as loop
body). - ANSWER Loop
interaction between software components and order of events - ANSWER
sequence diagram
Type that has just two values: true or false. - ANSWER Boolean
Used by programs to refer to data. It is a named item, used to hold a value. -
ANSWER variable
A conversion of one data type to another, such as an integer to a float. - ANSWER
Type conversion
