Cmst 103 Test 2 - Loops & Functions

Front 1

group of statements within a program that performs a specific task

Back 1

function

Front 2

program where each task in the program is its own function

Back 2

modularized program

Front 3

benefits of modularized design?

Back 3

faster coding

team work

code reuse

simpler code

better testing/debugging

Front 4

what makes up the header of a function?

Back 4

returnType functionName(parameters){

}

Front 5

instructions inside of a function

Back 5

block

Front 6

the part of the program in which a variable may be accessed

Back 6

the scope of a variable

Front 7

returning to the code where a function was called

Back 7

function return

Front 8

variables declared inside a function

Back 8

local variables

Front 9

piece of data that is sent to a function

Back 9

argument

Front 10

variable assigned the value of an argument when the function is called

Back 10

parameter

Front 11

what is the scope of a parameter?

Back 11

the function in which the parameter is used

Front 12

what is pass by value?

Back 12

the changing the value of a parameter does not affect the value of the argument

Front 13

data type that the function returns

Back 13

return type

Front 14

this specifies what a function does

Back 14

function definition

Front 15

this variable is created with an assignment statement outside of all functions

Back 15

global variables

Front 16

how do you declare a global constant?

Back 16

final int VALUE_X = 42;

Front 17

this is a technique used to break an algorithm into functions

Back 17

top-down design / divide-and-conquer

Front 18

this shows a relationship between functions

Back 18

hierarchy chart

Front 19

this describes the input, processes, and output of a function

Back 19

IPO chart

Front 20

_________ structure makes a computer repeat included code as is necessary

Back 20

repetition

Front 21

one execution of a body of a loop

Back 21

iteration

Front 22

what are the two types of loops? give an example of each

Back 22

condition-controlled loops (while)

count-controlled loops (for)

Front 23

this kind of loop tests a condition before iterating

Back 23

pretest loop

Front 24

this kind of loop has an error which causes it to never stop

Back 24

infinite loop

Front 25

this kind of loop iterates a specific # of times

Back 25

count-controlled loop

Front 26

the variable which is the target of the assignment at the beginning of each iteration

Back 26

target variable

Front 27

give an example of an augmented assignment operators

Back 27

++, --, +=, -=, *=, /=

Front 28

a loop contained within another loop

Back 28

nested loop

Front 29

What are the eight steps in program development?

Back 29

1. Define the problem.

2. Outline a solution.

3. Translate solution into an algorithm.

4. Test algorithm logic.

5. Algorithm -> code.

6. Correct syntax errors.

7. Run/test code.

8. Correct logic errors.
