◍ A programmer is planning to make a program that allows a company to
organize its employees by name, ID, number, and salary. Suppose the
programmer is making a procedure called "newEntry" that takes in this data
to create a new entry.Which of the following would be a good header for the
procedure?.
Answer: A. newEntry (name, idNo, salary)
◍ Which of the following best describes the result of running the program
below?number ← RANDOM (1, 6)REPEAT UNTIL number > 100{
number ← number * 2}IF (number = 128){ DISPLAY (true)}ELSE{
DISPLAY (false)}.
Answer: If number is a 1, 2 or 4, then the program will display true.
◍ Which of the following may be an unintended effect of the upgraded
system?.
Answer: C. Reservations will be primarily made by customers who can
afford internet access
◍ Which of the following are benefits to having information be easy to
access?l. Information can be easily found by researchers, which can be
improve experimental and investigational findings ll. Information can be
easily found by students, who can use it to improve their understanding of a
topiclll. Information can be easily checked by third parties, which ensures
that it is always correct and up to date.
Answer: B. l and ll
,◍ Consider the following two algorithms for determining the tallest person in a
group.Algorithm AStep 1: Everybody stands and lines up against the
wall.Step 2: One person from those who are standing steps forward.Step 3:
One person from those who are standing steps forward.Step 4: The shorter
of these two people who stepped forward sits down.Step 5: Repeat steps 3
and 4 until only one person is standing.Step 6: The last person standing is
the tallest in the group. Algorithm BStep 1: Everybody stands and lines up
against the wall.Step 2: Each standing person pairs up with one other
standing person.Step 3: The shorter member of each pair sits down.Step 4:
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until only one person is standing.Step 5: The last
person standing is the tallest in the group. Which of the following statements
about these two algorithms is true when applied to a group of 32 people?.
Answer: Algorithm A is never faster than Algorithm B
◍ Which of these statements will move the sprite 100 steps?.
Answer: {repeat (10) {move (10) steps{ ->}
◍ The program below calculates and displays the sum of the integers from m
to n inclusive, where m < n.Line 1 i ← mLine 2 r ← n-m+1Line 3 sum ←
0Line 4 REPEAT r TIMESLine 5 {Line 6 sum ← sum+iLine 7 i ← i+1Line
8 }Line 9 DISPLAY sumIf Line 1 is changed to read i ← n, which of the
following changes will ensure that the program continues to calculates and
displays the sum of the integers from m to n inclusive?.
Answer: Change line 7 to read i ← i-1
◍ A certain computer has two identical processors that can run in parallel.
Each processor can run only one process at a time, and each process must be
executed on a single processor. In this problem, processes four and five
must be run sequentially while processes one, two, and three can all run in
parallel. The following table indicates the amount of time each process takes
to execute on a single processor.Which of the following best approximates
the minimum possible time to run the five processes?.
Answer: C. 13 seconds
◍ What will be the output of the following program if the user input number is
, -5?.
Answer: -15
◍ If your algorithm needs to search through a list of unsorted words, what type
search would you use?.
Answer: A. Linear search
◍ Most coding languages enable programmer to include a source file in the
form of abstractions. For example, in C ++, the command # include
<iostream> grants the program access to basic input/output commands. Why
would such a feature be useful in a language?.
Answer: C. It enables features to be used in multiple programs, which
reduces the complexity of the code by allowing for re use
◍ Which of the following blocks will display even if the positive number num
is even? Select two answers..
Answer: IF ((num MOD 2) = 0) {DISPLAY ["even"]}ANDIF ((num MOD
2) = 1) {DISPLAY ["odd"]}ELSE {DISPLAY ["even"]}
◍ What percentage of the time will the following program display an even
number?DISPLAY (RANDOM (1,10)).
Answer: D. 50%
◍ What is displayed after running the following algorithm?list min 1.
Answer: D. 0
◍ Which of the following is the best example of a heuristic approach to
solving a problem?.
Answer: sing your thumb and forefinger in order to add a pinch of salt to a
meal because the recipe that your grandma has written on an index card
says, "Add some salt".
◍ Consider the following equivalent code segments that each display the first
12 positive and even integers.Which of the following is NOT an advantage
of Segment B over Segment A?.
Answer: Segment B will execute in less time than Segment A.
