Section 1.2 Program Development Cycle
1. An algorithm is defined as:
(A) a mathematical formula that solves a problem.
(B) a tempo for classical music played in a coda.
(C) a logical sequence of steps that solve a problem.
(D) a tool that designs computer programs and draws the user interface.
C
2. Which of the following is the proper order of procedures used in the problem-solving
process?
(A) design, analysis, coding, testing
(B) analysis, testing, design, coding
(C) analysis, design, coding, testing
(D) analysis, design, testing, coding
(E) design, testing, analysis, coding
C
3. The process of finding and correcting errors in a program is called
(A) pseudocoding.
(B) debugging.
(C) algorithms.
(D) development cycles.
B
4. In most cases, a well-written program need not be tested. (T/F)
F
5. The analysis and design steps of program planning are largely independent of the particular
computer language the programmer is using. (T/F)
T
6. When starting a new program, it is best to start writing code as soon as possible to avoid
wasting time thinking about it. (T/F)
F
7. Often a problem is too difficult to understand until one writes the program. (T/F)
F
8. Although the documentation step is usually listed last in the problem-solving process, it
should actually begin when the problem is first defined and continue through the problem-
solving process. (T/F)
T

9. Order the steps in the program development cycle starting with 1 for the first step and so on.
Program design (devise an algorithm).
Test the program until it is error free.
Test the design.
Problem analysis (define the problem).
Determine the input and output.
Review the code.
Add new features.
Code the program.
Enter the program.
