Understanding Algorithms and Errors

What type of error occurs when a program runs but produces incorrect results?

• Syntax Error

• Logic Error

• Runtime Error

• Compilation Error

Which of the following is a characteristic of a syntax error?

• The program runs but gives the wrong output.

• The program crashes during execution.

• The program fails to compile.

• The program runs slower than expected.

In a flowchart, what shape is typically used to represent a decision point?

• Rectangle

• Diamond

• Oval

• Parallelogram

Which of the following is an example of a runtime error?

• Misspelled variable name

• Division by zero

• Incorrect algorithm

• Missing semicolon

In a flowchart, which shape is used to represent the start or end of a process?

• Rectangle

• Diamond

• Oval

• Parallelogram

What is the main purpose of using flowcharts in programming?

• To write code

• To visually represent algorithms

• To compile programs

• To debug errors

Which of the following is NOT a type of error in programming?

• Syntax Error

• Logic Error

• Execution Error

• Printing Error

In pseudocode, how is a loop typically represented?

• Using "if" statements

• Using "while" or "for" statements

• Using "switch" statements

• Using "case" statements

What type of error is most likely if a program crashes unexpectedly during execution?

• Syntax Error

• Logic Error

• Runtime Error

• Compilation Error

Which of the following is a benefit of using pseudocode?

• It can be directly executed by a computer.

• It helps in understanding the logic before coding.

• It reduces the need for debugging.

• It speeds up the compilation process.
