computer science

which statement best describes a variable and primary purpose

a variable is a named storage location in the computers memory used fr holding a piece of information

true or false in programming the terms lines and statements always mean the same thing

false

a recursion can be used to

find GCD and compute factorials

these are used to declare variables that can hold real; numbers

floating point data types

in order to include comments about what kind of pre processor directive must be added

iostream

the quick sort algoritim is used to sort

lists sorted in arrays or linear linked sets

this is the most fundemental set of programs on a computer

operating system

this is a function that calls itself

recursive

even when turned off, information is stored here

secondary storage

the float data is considered a ----- precision and the double data type is considered---- precision

single, double

what are the steps of transferring source file into an executable file

source code, preprocessor, modified source code, compiler, object code, linker, executable code

this is a set of rules that must be followed when constructing a program

syntax

true or false, like a loop a recursive function must have some method to control the number of times it repeats

true

if a recursive function does not contain base case, it

uses up all available stack memory causing the program to crash

what best describes an operator

an operator allows toy to preform operations on one or more pieces of data

A recursive function is designed to terminate when it reaches its

base case

this is the term for a binary didget

bit

which data type only requires one byte of storage

char

this step will uncover any syntax errors in your program

compiling

this term refers to the programmer reading through the code step by step and checkin each part

desk checking
