What is the purpose of an if-else statement?

• To create loops in programming.

• To store data in variables.

• To define functions and methods.

• To control the flow of execution based on a condition.

Write an if-else statement to determine if a number is positive, negative, or zero.

• if (number > 0) { ('Positive'); }

  else if (number < 0) { ('Negative'); }

  else { ('Zero'); }

• if (number >= 0) { ('Zero or Positive'); }

  else { ('Negative'); }

• if (number == 0) { ('Zero'); }

  else if (number < 0) { ('Positive'); }

  else { ('Negative'); }

• if (number < 0) { ('Positive'); }

  else { ('Negative'); }

Describe the steps to create a simple algorithm for making a sandwich.

• 1. Buy a sandwich from a store. 2. Open the package. 3. Eat it directly. 4. Dispose of the wrapper.

• 1. Gather tools. 2. Heat the oven. 3. Mix ingredients. 4. Bake for 30 minutes. 5. Serve hot.

• 1. Gather ingredients. 2. Place bread in a toaster. 3. Toast until golden. 4. Add toppings. 5. Serve with a side of fries.

• 1. Gather ingredients. 2. Place one slice of bread. 3. Add filling. 4. Spread condiments. 5. Place second slice. 6. Cut if desired. 7. Serve.

What is a flowchart and how is it used in programming?

• A flowchart is a visual tool used to represent processes or algorithms, aiding in the design and understanding of programming logic.

• A flowchart is a database management tool.

• A flowchart is a type of programming language.

• A flowchart is used to write code directly.

Explain the difference between a condition and a loop in programming.

• A condition evaluates to true or false for decision-making, while a loop repeats code until a condition is met.

• A condition is used to repeat code, while a loop makes decisions based on user input.

• A condition is a loop that runs indefinitely, while a loop checks for true or false.

• A condition and a loop are the same, both execute code based on user-defined parameters.

What is the output of the following code: if (x > 10) { print('High'); } else { print('Low'); }?

• The output is always 'Low'.

• The output is always 'High'.

• Depends on the value of x. If x > 10, output is 'High'; if x <= 10, output is 'Low'.

• The output is 'High' only if x is exactly 10.

Why is it important to understand binary numbers in computer science?

• Binary numbers are only used in programming languages.

• Understanding binary numbers is irrelevant to data storage.

• It is important to understand binary numbers because they are the basic representation of data in computer systems.

• Binary numbers are primarily used for graphic design.
