Maxicare Programming Logic

What is the first step you should take when trying to solve a programming problem?

• Start coding immediately

• Have a plan

• Look for existing code online

• Write pseudocode

Why is it beneficial to restate a problem when programming?

• It saves time

• It makes the code easier to read

• • It can provide new insights and make the problem easier to approach

• It ensures the code runs faster

What type of software directly controls and manages the basic operations of a computer?

• Application software

• System software

• Compilers

• Interpreters

Which problem-solving technique suggests working with parts of the problem that are already known?

• Experimentation

• Reduce the problem

• Start with what you know

• Look for analogies

What is the key concept of dividing a problem in programming?

• It makes the code longer

• It allows you to address separate parts more efficiently

• It complicates the solution

• It makes the program run faster

In programming, what is a variable?

• • A fixed value that cannot be changed during program execution

• A memory location that stores a value that can change

• A part of a program that performs a specific task

• An instruction for the computer to stop executing

Why is it advised not to get frustrated during programming?

• It makes the code easier to read

• Frustration can lead to inefficient work and impaired thinking

• It improves debugging

• It increases coding speed

What lesson can be learned from solving sliding tile puzzles in programming?

• Start from the last step

• Solutions should always be coded all at once

• Planning and systematic approaches are beneficial

• Use trial and error for better results

In Python, which of the following statements is true about variables?

• A variable’s value can only be set once during the program run

• A variable name must start with a number

• Python variables do not need to be declared explicitly

• Variables can only hold integer values

Why is immutability important for certain data types?

• It makes them slower

• It prevents changes that could lead to data corruption

• It limits their usability in programs

• It makes them easier to debug
