Graphical User Interface (GUI)

is a programming model that focuses on the procedures that programmers create.

is a programming model that focuses on objects, or "things", and describes their features (also called attributes) and behaviors.

Object-oriented programming

True/False. Hardware is the equipment, or the devices, associated with a computer. Software is computer instructions.

True/False.The grammar rules of a computer programming language are its syntax.

True/False.You write programs using machine language, and translation software converts the statements to a programming language.

False.You write a programming language such as Visual Basic or Java, and a translation program (called a compiler or interpreter) converts the statements to machine language, which is 1s and 0s.

True/False. A program with syntax errors can execute but might produce incorrect results.

False. A program with syntax errors cannot execute; a program with no syntax errors can execute, but might produce incorrect results.

True/False. Although the syntax of programming languages differs, the same program logic can be expressed in different languages.

True/False. Most simple computer programs include steps that perform, input, processing, and output.

What are the 7 steps in the Program Development Cycle?

1. understand the problem 2. plan the logic 3. code the program 4. use software (a compiler or interpreter) to translate the program into machine language. 5. test the program 6. Put the program into production 7. Maintain the program.

True/False. Understanding the problem that must be solved can be one of the most difficult aspects of programming.

True/False. The two most commonly used logic -planning tools are flowcharts and pseudocode.

Flowcharting a program is a very different process if you use an older programming language instead of a newer one.

False. Despite their differences, programming languages are quiet alike in their basic capabilities---- each can handle input operations, arithmetic processing, output operations, and other standard functions. The logic developed to solve a programming problem can be executed using any number of languages.

What is the logic-planning tool and name of the parallelogram?

Flowchart and Input/Output Symbol (I/O Symbol)

What is the name of the logic-planning tool and name of the rectangle?

Flowchart and processing symbol

What is the name of the logic-planning tool and the arrow?

What is the name of the logic-planning tool and the shape of a racetrack?

Flowchart and Terminal Symbol/Lozenge

What is the logic-planning tool and the diamond shape name?

Flowchart and Decision Symbol

True/False. A program that contains an infinite loop is one that never ends.

A preselected value that stops the execution of a program is often called a dummy value or sentinel value.

True/False. Many programming languages use the term fe (file end) to refer to a marker that automatically acts as a sentinel. 

False. The term eof (end of file) is the common term for a file sentinel. 

You can type a program into what two editors?

plain text editor and text editor

True/False. You can type a program into an editor that is part of an integrated development environment, but using a plain text editor provides you with more programming help. 

False. An integrated development environment provides more programming help than a plain text editor.

True/False. When a program runs from the command line, a user types text to provide input.

True/False. Although GUI and command-line environments look different, the logic of input, processing and output apply to both program types. 

True/False.The oldest computer programs were written in many separate modules. 

False. The oldest programs were written in a single piece; newer programs are divided into modules.
