Chapter 1: Preliminaries

TRUE/FALSE

1. Frequently, when you don’t know the final conversion factor, making intermediate conversions can get you to the correct result easily.

ANS:  T                    PTS:   1                    REF:   9

2. Another term for a program or set of programs is software.

ANS:  T                    PTS:   1                    REF:   16

3. A top-level structure diagram, also called a first-level structure diagram, represents the first overall structure of the program the designer has selected.

ANS:  T                    PTS:   1                    REF:   18

4. Selection provides the capability to make a choice between different operations, depending on the result of some condition.

ANS:  T                    PTS:   1                    REF:   19

5. Testing reveals all existing program errors.

ANS:  F                    PTS:   1                    REF:   19

6. It is critical to make and keep backup copies of the program at each step of the programming and debugging process.

ANS:  T                    PTS:   1                    REF:   21

7. Because each class of computers—such as IBM, Apple, and Hewlett-Packard—has its own particular machine language, writing machine-language programs is tedious and time consuming.

ANS:  T                    PTS:   1                    REF:   29

8. C++ is predominantly a compiled language.

ANS:  T                    PTS:   1                    REF:   30

9. Until the 1990s, the majority of high-level programming languages were object-oriented.

ANS:  F                    PTS:   1                    REF:   32

10. Structured programs are created using a set of well-defined structures organized into individual programming sections.

ANS:  T                    PTS:   1                    REF:   34
