list search
In programming, an organizing structure is referred to as a(n) ___________.
data structure
, To "iterate through a list" means to ______________.

essential.
False
An instruction is composed of _____________.
a method name and potentially multiple arguments
Conditional execution and repetition in a program are implemented by using
programming statements known as control structures.
True
When parameters are used in event-driven programming, it is especially
important to run the animation several times, each time with different possible
parameter values, to determine that it works as expected.
True
A penguin, tortoise, hare, tree, and beach ball exist in the following Alice world.
The penguin's class-level methods perform the expected actions their names
suggest. True or false: if the following Alice world is run, and the user clicks on
the tree, the penguin will walk towards the tree.
False
It is illegal to program a recursive function.
False
An If statement is absolutely necessary in any method which implements
repetition through recursion.
