2. Every programming language has rules governing its word usage and punctuation.
a. True
b. False
ANSWER: True
FEEDBACK: Correct Correct. Programming languages use a compiler or interpreter to
convert source code into machine language. The compiler or
interpreter needs to have correct syntax to correctly translate the
program into machine language. Correct syntax follows a specific
set of rules defining word usage and punctuation.

calculations with them.
a. Processing b. Inputting
c. Outputting d. Converting
ANSWER: a
FEEDBACK: a. Correct. Processing data, which is done by the CPU, includes
operations such as sorting times, checking items for accuracy, or
performing calculations.
b. Incorrect. Inputting data consists of entering data items into a
computer and storing them in memory, where they can be
processed.
c. Incorrect. Outputting data occurs after data has been processed,
when the resulting information is usually sent to a printer,
monitor, or some other output device so that people can view,
interpret, and use the results.
d. Incorrect. Converting data means to change its format. A
compiler or interpreter converts syntax to machine language.

12. ____ errors are relatively easy to locate and correct because the compiler or interpreter you use
highlights every error.
a. Logic b. Syntax
c. Input d. Process
ANSWER: b
FEEDBACK: a. Incorrect. Logic errors are due to incorrect instructions or
sequences in programs. Compilers and interpreters can
determine if a programmer used proper syntax but cannot
determine if the instructions or sequences perform the intended
output. Logical errors produce incorrect output.
b. Correct. Every language has rules governing its word usage and
punctuation. These rules are called the language’s syntax.
Because compilers and interpreters know the proper syntax, they
can highlight incorrect text.
c. Incorrect. Input errors occur at runtime, which for compiled
programs occurs when the CPU is executing a program that has
already been converted into machine language. The compiler
identifies incorrect syntax before compiling the program.
d. Incorrect. "Process error" is a generic term describing an error
that occurs somewhere in a process. The process may be a
debugging process or a mathematical process, so a process that
gets interrupted unexpectedly experiences a process error.

13. A ____ error results when you use a syntactically correct statement but use the wrong one for the
current context.
a. syntax b. logical
c. semantic d. line
ANSWER: b
FEEDBACK: a. Incorrect. A syntax error occurs when you use the wrong word or
punctuation defined by the programming language.
b. Correct. A logical error occurs when the syntax is correct but the
instruction or sequence programmed is incorrect.
c. Incorrect. In programming, semantics describes the meaning of
the syntax of any given statement.
d. Incorrect. A "line error" is an undefined term, but describes a line
of code that includes a syntax or logical error.

15. Computer programmers often refer to memory addresses using ____ notation.
a. binary b. indirect
c. mathematical d. hexadecimal
ANSWER: d
FEEDBACK: a. Incorrect. Binary is a two-digit numbering system used in
machine language. Because large numbers represented in binary
contain many digits, it is not a good numbering system for
programmers to use to refer to memory addresses.
b. Incorrect. Indirect notation refers to the programming concept
used in certain languages where the method precedes the object.
c. Incorrect. Mathematical notation deals with symbols and
operands used to describe mathematical or logical operations.
d. Correct. Hexadecimal notation is a base 16 number system that
is used to represent large binary numbers more compactly.

determine if the instructions or sequences perform the intended
output. Logical errors produce incorrect output.
b. Correct. Every language has rules governing its word usage and
punctuation. These rules are called the language’s syntax.
Because compilers and interpreters know the proper syntax, they
can highlight incorrect text.
c. Incorrect. Input errors occur at runtime, which for compiled
programs occurs when the CPU is executing a program that has
already been converted into machine language. The compiler
identifies incorrect syntax before compiling the program.
d. Incorrect. "Process error" is a generic term describing an error
that occurs somewhere in a process. The process may be a
debugging process or a mathematical process, so a process that
gets interrupted unexpectedly experiences a process error.

13. A ____ error results when you use a syntactically correct statement but use the wrong one for the
current context.
a. syntax b. logical
c. semantic d. line
ANSWER: b
FEEDBACK: a. Incorrect. A syntax error occurs when you use the wrong word or
punctuation defined by the programming language.
b. Correct. A logical error occurs when the syntax is correct but the
instruction or sequence programmed is incorrect.
c. Incorrect. In programming, semantics describes the meaning of
the syntax of any given statement.
d. Incorrect. A "line error" is an undefined term, but describes a line
of code that includes a syntax or logical error.

14. A(n) ____ is a named memory location whose value can vary.
a. input b. variable
c. output d. logic
ANSWER: b
FEEDBACK: a. Incorrect. Input is the action of entering data into a program.
b. Correct. Variables are named memory locations that can hold
different values at different points in time.
c. Incorrect. Output is the action of sending resulting information to
a printer, monitor, or some other device so that people can view,
interpret, and use the results.
d. Incorrect. Logic is sequential instruction.

15. Computer programmers often refer to memory addresses using ____ notation.
a. binary b. indirect
c. mathematical d. hexadecimal
ANSWER: d
FEEDBACK: a. Incorrect. Binary is a two-digit numbering system used in
machine language. Because large numbers represented in binary
contain many digits, it is not a good numbering system for
programmers to use to refer to memory addresses.
b. Incorrect. Indirect notation refers to the programming concept
used in certain languages where the method precedes the object.
c. Incorrect. Mathematical notation deals with symbols and
operands used to describe mathematical or logical operations.
d. Correct. Hexadecimal notation is a base 16 number system that
is used to represent large binary numbers more compactly.

a. understanding the problem b. testing the program
c. translating the program d. coding the program
ANSWER: d
FEEDBACK: a. Incorrect. Understanding the problem is the first step of the
program development cycle.
b. Incorrect. Testing the program is the fifth step of the program
development cycle.
c. Incorrect. Translating the program is the fourth step of the
program development cycle and is done through software, such
as a compiler or interpreter.
d. Correct. Coding the program is the third step of the program
development cycle and is completed after planning the logic and
before translating the program into machine language.
