Q

an extremely useful tool in program development. First, any error or
omission can be more easily detected from a program flowchart than it can be from a program because a program
flowchart is a pictorial representation of the logic of a program.

Q

The term ___________ means repetition. Sometimes, a procedure should be executed repeatedly. All
procedures should be built so that they can be repeated as many times as needed.

A

iteration

18
Q

______________ , a predicate is tested to decide whether a set of operations is to be performed or
not. If the condition implied by the predicate is true, then the desired operations are performed. If it is false, then
the iteration is terminated
