While creating a flowchart, you reach a step that seems like an action, but also requires
input. This step should probably be shown as... (Choose the best answer.) -

, At a certain point in the flowchart, different next steps need to be taken depending on
whether the sky is sunny vs. cloudy vs. rainy vs. full of burning sulfuric clouds (i.e.,
based on which of the four sky conditions are currently in effect, the process follows one
of four wholly unique sets of steps). Which of the following would facilitate the flowchart
moving off into the correct set of steps based on the sky condition? - answerUsing one
decision symbol with four different out-flows.
Using four different decision symbols.
**Using three different decision symbols.
Using one decision symbol with three different connectors.
Sometimes it's useful to "store information" within a flowchart (e.g., something that the
user has inputted). We often do this by using which of the following? - answerA Disk
Symbol
**A Variable
A Database Symbol
An Asterisk
A Connector
An IDE allows you to... (Choose the best answer.) - answerCreate visual diagrams of
your program before you start coding.
**See your code as well as your code's output when you run it.
"De-compile" any application into corresponding Python code.
Develop programs using a simple drag-and-drop system.
What would be the output of the following?
print ("cat") - answer**cat

Which of the answers below correctly describes (a) a float, (b) an integer, and (c) a

**(a) any real number, (b) any whole number, (c) any text value
(a) any fractional number, (b) any whole number zero or larger, (c) any short text

I have three variables: dog, cat, and chicken. I want to output the values of each of
them. Which of the following (if entered on a single line as shown) would you expect to
do so? - answerprint(dog + cat + chicken)
print ("dog cat chicken")
print(dog cat chicken)
**print(dog, cat, chicken)
What would be the output of the following?
m, n = "dog", "cat"
