4. Finding the Maximum
A text editor could be use for?

A tutorial teaching you how to work a program would be part of?
1. The user guide
2. The system requirements
3. The internal commentry
4. The technical guide
An interpreter?
1. Translates and executes high level language line by line
2. Translates the whole program in one go
3. Executes machine code programs
4. Does not tell you about any errors until the program is complete
Code written in an English-like language is called?
1. High Level Language
2. Medium Level Language
3. Low Level Language
4. Binary code
DO ... LOOP UNTIL count > 10 is an example of?
1. A conditional loop
2. An unfixed loop
3. A nested loop
4. An unconditional loop
FOR count = 1 TO 10 ... NEXT count is an example of?
1. A fixed loop
2. A conditional loop
3. An unconditional loop
4. An unfixed loop
If you want to store a set of 10 names you would use?
1. A string array
2. A numeric array
3. An integer
4. A string
If you want to store a set of 10 number you would use?
1. A numeric array
2. A string array
3. A string
4. An integer
If you want to test a number is between 0 and 100, the condition would be:
1. number < 0 AND number > 100
2. number >= 0 AND number <= 100
3. number <= 0 OR number >= 100
4. number >= 0 OR number <= 100
In a programming language, a pre-defined function is?
1. A built-in piece of code that calculates something
2. A subroutine
3. A translator
4. An algorithm
In the Design stage, the advantage of a structure diagram is:
1. It gives an overall picture of the program
2. It can be translated in one go into machine code
3. It corresponds line by line to the actual program
4. It tells you how to install the program
In the Design stage, the advantage of pseudocode is:
1. It gives an overall picture of the program
2. It corresponds line by line to the actual program
3. It gives instructions on how to operate the program
4. It can be translated in one go into machine code
In the PPMS program, details of any pupil can be found. A possible Standard Algorithm used would be?
1. Linear Search
2. Counting Occurrences
3. Input Validation
4. Finding the Maximum
Machine code is?
1. The computer's binary language
2. An English type programming language
3. A code for numbers
4. A code for text
Structure Diagrams are often used at the design stage because:
1. They give an overall plan of the program
2. They design the form for you
3. There are lots of graphics in programs
4. They translate line by line into program code
The most suitable set of test data for a program that takes in marks out of 100 woule be?
1. -15, 0, 1, 23, 45, 67, 99, 100, 125
2. 0, 0.5, 1, 49.6, 50, 50.6, 99, 99.6, 100
3. -1, 0, 1, 99, 100, 101
4. a, b, -5, 2.05, 3.14, 56.0003, 102.7
The Validation Algorithm can be used to ensure that:
1. Only valid output is produced by a program
2. Only correct data is allowed to be entered into a program
3. Only input within a certain range is accepted by a program
4. Only correct data is output by a program
What is meant by 'Fit for Purpose'?
1. It doesn't crash easily
2. It is well documented
3. The software does what the analysis stage said it should do
4. The code has lots of internal documentation
What is the purpose of the Analysis stage?
1. Deciding what is needed, fully understanding the problem
2. To design a solution
3. To write the program
4. To create pseudocode
What is the purpose of the Design stage?
1. To fully understand the problem
2. To produce an overall plan of the program
3. To write the program
4. To evaluate the solution
What is the purpose of the Documentation stage?
1. To fully understand the problem
2. To produce an overall plan of the program
3. To produce a User Guide and Technical Guide
4. To write the actual programming code
What is the purpose of the Evaluation stage?
1. To fully understand the problem
2. To produce an overall plan of the program
3. To check the program does what it is supposed to do
4. To produce a User Guide and Technical Guide
What is the purpose of the Implementation stage?
1. To fully understand the problem
2. To write the actual programming code
3. To evaluate the solution
4. To test a solution
What is the purpose of the Testing stage?
1. To fully understand the problem
2. Run the program with test data to ensure it doesn't crash
3. To write the actual programming code
4. To check the program does what it is supposed to do
When testing a program that takes in ages of primary pupils aged 4 to 12, the exceptions that could be tested are:
1. -6 and 15
