CPTS 121 EXAM 1 LATEST
function header - ANSWERS-the first line in a function; marks the
beginning of the function
what is in a function header? - ANSWERS-return type, function name,
and parameters
function call - ANSWERS-A statement that executes a function. It
consists of the function name followed by an argument list.
scope - ANSWERS-a region of the program where a defined variable
can have its existence and beyond that variable it cannot be accessed
test-driver - ANSWERS-a short program that tests a specific function
function decomposition - ANSWERS-A iterative process of breaking
down the description of t system into finer and finer detail in which one
function is described in greater detail by a set of other, supporting
functions.
sequence - ANSWERS-the ability to execute a series of instructions, one
after the other

conditional - ANSWERS-the ability to execute an instruction contingent
upon some condition
iteration - ANSWERS-the ability to execute one or more instructions
repeatedly
short circuit evaluation - ANSWERS-evaluation stops after the first part
of the expression is evaluated
file stream - ANSWERS-when a file opens, it has a sequential stream of
bits or bytes
cohesion - ANSWERS-a measure of how focused and relation the
functionality is within a single unit
coupling - ANSWERS-another way to indicate functions are dependent
on each other
Algorithm - ANSWERS-A well-ordered collection of unambiguous and
effectively computable operations that, when executed, produces a result
and halts in a finite amount of time
