Introduction to Programming

Question 1

end-structure statement

Answer 1

a statement that marks the end of a block of code, such as the end of a loop or an if statement

Question 2

block

Answer 2

a group of statements that are executed together, typically enclosed in curly braces or defined by indentation

Question 3

dual-alternative if

Answer 3

a selection statement where the code can branch to one of two possible paths based on a condition being true or false and there is no condition for skipping selection (aka if-else)

Question 4

loop structure

Answer 4

a way to repeat a block of code multiple times based on a condition, such as for loops or while loops

Question 5

loop body

Answer 5

A loop body is the block of statements within a loop that executes every time the loop iterates.

Question 6

nesting structures

Answer 6

placing one control structure, such as a loop or an if statement, inside another

Question 7

null case

Answer 7

a situation in which no action is taken, often used as the default case in a switch statement or when no conditions in an if statement are met

Question 8

selection structure

Answer 8

a control structure that chooses different paths of execution based on conditions, such as if statements or switch cases

Question 9

sequence structure

Answer 9

the simplest control structure where actions are performed one after another in order

Question 10

single-alternative if

Answer 10

an if statement that provides only one path of execution if the condition is true; no action is taken if the condition is false

Question 11

stacking structures

Answer 11

placing one control structure after another in sequence

Question 12

structure

Answer 12

an organized way to control the flow of a program, such as sequences, selections, and loops

Question 13

while loop

Answer 13

a loop that repeats a block of code as long as a specified condition is true
