D278 EXAMINATION QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
nested loop - Loop that appears in the body of another loop.
do-while loop - Loop that first executes the loop body's statements, then checks the loop
condition.
parameter - A function input specified in a function definition
function - A named list of statements
function call - An invocation of a function's name, causing the function's statements to
execute.
argument - A value provided to a function's parameter during a function call.
return variable - A function may return one value and does so by assigning a return
variable with the return value.
modular development - The process of dividing a program into separate modules that
can be developed and tested separately and then integrated into a single program.
incremental development - A process in which a programmer writes and tests a few
statements, then writes and tests a small amount more.
return statement - Statement that returns the specified value and immediately exits the
function.
algorithm - Sequence of steps that solves a program, generating correct output for any
valid input values.
