Horatio has an idea for the program he would like to use as his final project. Before he starts
coding, he wants to write out the algorithm using short informal phrases to describe the
program steps (such as SalesTax= 0.006 or Output Results) to see how the code should be
structured. This is known as: - CORRECT ANSWERS Pseudocode
Which type of programming is designed by breaking problems into smaller, logical problems to
make them easier to execute? - CORRECT ANSWERS Structured
Which control structure includes the do/while statement? - CORRECT ANSWERS Loop

Salena is now in her second year as a programmer. She knows that she can determine the order
in which instructions are executed, as well as the number of times (or even if) an instruction is
executed. What is the term for this? - CORRECT ANSWERS Control structures
, Instructions (such as a recipe) are written so that each step is performed one at a time, from top
to bottom, until the task is completed. This type of instruction process is called: - CORRECT
ANSWERS sequential.
Which statement is true about objects? - CORRECT ANSWERS Objects created using the
same class must contain the same properties; however, the properties may contain different
values.
When a computer is performing the instructions contained in a program, it is called: - CORRECT
ANSWERS executing
Devising a plan to solve a problem or perform a task using a set of step-by-step instructions is
called: - CORRECT ANSWERS writing an algorithm.
Which term is also used to describe the selection control structure? - CORRECT
ANSWERS Decision
Consider the loop control structure in programming. Which term describes a loop that
continues repeating without a terminating (ending) condition? - CORRECT
ANSWERS Infinite loop
Problem: Tara has 15 tickets. Dean has 10 tickets. Tara gives Dean 2 tickets. How many more
tickets does Tara have than Dean?
Solution:
Tara's tickets: 15
Subtract 2 tickets from Tara's total tickets:
15- 2 = 13
