Sequence

Answer 2

• The order in which software instructions are carried out.

* instructions are carried out in the order they appear.

Question 3

Function/Method

Answer 3

• A common sequence of instructions.

Question 4

Loop

Answer 4

Allows a statement or group of statements to be executed more than once.
Repeats a set number of times or until a condition has been met.

Question 5

Unconditional Repitition

Answer 5

The number of repititions is unknown.

Eg for loop

Question 6

Conditional Repition

Answer 6

The number of repetitions is known.

Eg while loop

Question 7

Selection

Answer 7

In a program it is possible to decide which statements to execute.
IE if or switch statement.

Question 8

If Statements

Answer 8

Allows control to branch to the execution of a set of instructions only if the condition evaluates to be true.

Question 9

If/Else Statements

Answer 9

Same as if statement but will include statements to be executed if the evaluation of the condition is FALSE.

Question 10

For Loop

Answer 10

The counter is initialised.

The end value for the counter is declared and the increment for the counter set.

Question 11

do While Loop

Answer 11

Same as while loop.
Executes at least one time.
Executes first then checks for specified loop condition.

Question 12

Nested Loop

Answer 12

A loop within a loop.

Used for more complex problems.

Question 13

Switch Statements

Answer 13

Allows multiple decisions to be affected. If relevant result in more efficient code than multiple IF statements.

Question 14

Switch- case statement

Answer 14

Control is transferred to the case statement which matches the switch variable.

Question 15

Switch-break

Answer 15

Execution proceeds until break statement transfers control out of switch structure.
A branch statement usually required after each case block unless case has no code.
