U1L2 - Understanding Flowcharts and Pseudocode

What is the primary purpose of using flowcharts in software design?

• To write the final code for the software

• To visually represent the algorithm's progression

• To test the software for bugs

• To compile the software

Which of the following is a characteristic of pseudocode?

• It is written in a specific programming language

• It is a visual representation of an algorithm

• It is written in a code-like style but can be implemented in any high-level programming language

• It is used to test the software

In the context of the Cows and Bulls game, what does a "bull" represent?

• A number that is not in the secret code

• A number that is in the correct position

• A number that is in the secret code but in the wrong position

• A number that is repeated in the guess

What is the first step in the pseudocode for the Cows and Bulls game?

• Initialize the guess count

• Generate a random four-digit secret code

• Input the user's guess

• Compare the numbers

Which symbol in a flowchart represents a decision point?

• Rectangle

• Diamond

• Oval

• Parallelogram

What is the purpose of the CompareNumbers function in the Cows and Bulls game?

• To generate the secret code

• To compare the secret code and the user's guess

• To display the number of guesses

• To end the game

In the pseudocode for the Cows and Bulls game, what happens when the player has four bulls?

• The game continues

• The player wins

• The player loses

• The secret code is changed

What is the role of the pseudocode in software design?

• To execute the software

• To provide a detailed map of the software's logic

• To replace the need for flowcharts

• To debug the software

Which of the following tasks is NOT part of the Activity class in the KeepMoving app?

• Start and end the activity timer

• Calculate the rate of speed for the activity

• Display the user's location on a map

• Save the completed activity to the database

What is the significance of the decision diamond in a flowchart?

• It indicates the start or end of a process

• It represents a process or action

• It shows a decision point where the flow can branch

• It indicates input or output
