Test Number 46/95

Q: The process of drawing a flowchart for an algorithm is called __________
A. Performance
B. Evaluation
C. Algorithmic Representation
D. Flowcharting
Solution: It is called as flowcharting. A flowchart is nothing but a pictorial representation of an algorithm.
Q: Actual instructions in flowcharting are represented in __________
A. Circles
B. Boxes
C. Arrows
D. Lines
Solution: The actual instructions are written in boxes. Boxes are connected by using arrows to indicate the exact flow of a flowchart and the order in which they are to be executed.
Q: A box that can represent two different conditions.
A. Rectangle
B. Diamond
C. Circle
D. Parallelogram
Solution: A diamond shape box denotes either a truth value or a false value. It jumps onto two different statements following it via flow lines.
Q: There should be certain set standards on the amount of details that should be provided in a flowchart.
A. True
B. False
C. none
D. ..
Solution: The statement is false. There should be no set standards on the amount of details that should be provided in a flowchart.
Q: A detailed flowchart is called ______
A. Stack
B. Macro
C. Micro
D. Union
Solution: A detailed flowchart or a flowchart with more details is called as micro flowchart. It represents all the components of the algorithm that is followed.
Q: Which of the following is not an advantage of a flowchart?
A. Better communication
B. Efficient coding
C. Systematic testing
D. Improper documentation
Solution: Flowcharts provide a proper documentation. It also provides systematic debugging.
Q: A flowchart that outlines the main segments of a program.
A. Queue
B. Macro
C. Micro
D. Union
Solution: The answer is Macro Flowchart. A macro flowchart outlines the important components of a program. It therefore shows fewer details.
Q: A ______________ is diagram that depicts the flow of a program.
A. Algorithm
B. Hash Table
C. Graph
D. Flowchart
Solution: A flowchart is a diagram that helps us determine the flow of the program. Other options are irrelevant.
Q: Terminals are represented by diagonals in a flowchart.
A. True
B. False
C. none
D. ..
Solution: The statement is false. Terminals are represented by rounded rectangles. They indicate the starting or ending point in a flowchart.
Q: The operation represented by parallelograms.
A. Input/Output
B. Assignment
C. Comparison
D. Conditions
Solution: The input/output operations are represented by parallelograms. They generally are used to display messages during input and output part of a program.
