Term
Definition
Decision Structure (function)   A decision structure (AKA selection structure) allows a program to perform actions only under certain conditions.  
🗑
NOT operator   Takes a Boolean expressions as its operand and reverses its logical value.  
🗑
Short-Circuit Evaluation   AND: If the expression to the left of the operand is false, right side is not checked. OR: If the expression to the left of the operand is true, right side is not checked.  
🗑
OR operator   Takes two Boolean expressions as operands and creates a compound Boolean expression that is true when either of the subexpressions is true.  
🗑
&&   AND operator  
🗑
| |   OR operator  
🗑
!.   NOT operator  
🗑
AND operator   Takes two Boolean expressions as its operand and creates a compound Boolean expression that is true only when both subexpressions are true.  
🗑
Case Structure (AKA)   Multiple Alternative Decision Structure  
🗑
Case Structure (function)   Allows you to test the value of a variable or an expression and then use that value to determine which statement or set of statements to execute.  
🗑
Decision Structure (AKA)   Selection Structures  
🗑
conditionally executed   performed only when a certain condition is true.  
🗑
Single Alternative Decision Structure   Provides only one alternative path.  
🗑
You can use Decision Statements alone to create a complete program? T/F   False  
🗑
If Clause   The program line that begins with IF  
🗑
condition   Any expression that can be evaluated as either true or false. AKA Boolean Experssion  
🗑
Boolean Expressions   Expressions that can be evaluated as either true or false.  
🗑
Relational Operator (function)   Determines whether a specific relationship exists between two values.  
🗑
Relational Operators (examples)   > < >= <= == !=  
🗑
Which relationship operators test for more than one relationship?   <= >=  
🗑
==   a relational operator that determines whether the operand on its left is equal to the operand on its right.  
🗑
Why are two == used?   To differentiate between the relational operator and the assignment operator.  
🗑
Control Structure   A logical design that controls the order in which a set of statements executes.  
🗑
Dual Alternative Decision Structures   Two possible paths of execution. One path if TRUE, Another path if FALSE.  
🗑
What statement do you use in pseudocode to express dual alternative decision structure.   If - Else  
🗑
String Comparisons are case sensitive in most programming languages. T/F   True  
🗑
Nested Decision Structures   A decision structure can be nested inside another decision structure to test more than one condition.  
🗑
If - Then - Else - If statement   a simpler way logically to write a nested decision structure.  
🗑
testExpression   The first line of a case structure following Select  
🗑
Multiple Alternative Decision Structure (AKA)   Case Structure  
🗑
Multiple Alternative Decision Structure (function)   Allows you to test the value of a variable or an expression and then use that value to determine which statement or set of statements to execute.  
🗑
Logical Operators (examples)   And Or Not  
🗑
Logical Operators (function)   Allow you to create complex Boolean expressions.  
🗑
Which Logical Operator would you use to determine whether a numeric value is within a specific range or our of a specific range?   AND  
🗑
Boolean Variable   Can hold one of two values: true or false  
🗑
Which variable is commonly used as a flag?   Boolean  
🗑
What are the four types of variables we've learned so far?   Integer Real String Boolean  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
