C++ Chapter 4

Front 1

a series of steps that tell how to solve a problem

Back 1

Algorithim

Front 2

An expression that contains a relational operator and evaluates to either true or false. It may contain logical operators.

Back 2

Boolean Expression

Front 3

A variable type that can store only true or false

Back 3

Boolean Variable

Front 4

The process of determining the algorithm and rogram structure to be used to satisfy the specification

Back 4

Code Design

Front 5

A group of statements surrounded by curly braces

Back 5

Compound Statement

Front 6

A variable used to count the number of loop iterations

Back 6

Counter

Front 7

The process of deciding upon the variables and constants and their types based on the coode design

Back 7

Data Design

Front 8

A logic error that occurs in a nested if statement when an else clause is associated with the inside if instead of with the outside if as intended

Back 8

Dangling else

Front 9

the symbols -- used to indicate one will be subtracted from the variable

Back 9

Decrement operator

Front 10

also called a sentinel

Back 10

flag

Front 11

The symbols ++ used to indicate one will be added to a variable

Back 11

Increment operator

Front 12

a loop which iterates foreever because of a logic error

Back 12

Infinite Loop

Front 13

an assignment statement that gves a variable a starting value. Counters are often intialized.

Back 13

Intitialization

Front 14

The repetition of the execution of one ore more statements in a program

Back 14

iteration

Front 15

Operators used in a complex if statement (&&, ||, !)

Back 15

Logical Operators

Front 16

An error caused by statements that are syntactically correct bt produce an undesired or unexpected result

Back 16

Logic Error

Front 17

Also called iteration

Back 17

Looping

Front 18

an expression which can be used on the left-hand side of an assignment statement, usually a variable.

Back 18

Lvalue

Front 19

An If statement inside another if statement.

Back 19

Nested if

Front 20

an algorithm created using both English terms and C++ code

Back 20

pseudocode

Front 21

Operators used in an expression to make comparisons (==, <, <=, !=,)

Back 21

Relational Operators

Front 22

A value used to indicate the end of a sequence of values

Back 22

Sentinel

Front 23

Associated with floating point numbers because they cannot be exactly represented in binary notation by the computer

Back 23

Roundoff Error
