Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Algorithms are composed of control structures. Which of these is not a control structure?

Answer: pseudocode

Pseudocode is a method of algorithm description involving the use of English, as are flowcharts.
2. Which of these is not a type of error that can occur within modules?

Answer: single errors

I made up single errors! As far as I know there is no such thing! However arithmetic errors are those that occur in the processing of numerical data, comparison errors result from attemps to compare two different types of data and control logic errors occur with the selection and repetition structures of the program.
3. Which one of these is an example of an unguarded loop?

Answer: BEGIN; REPEAT water plants UNTIL ground is soaked; END

An unguarded loop can also be called post-test repetition. This is where the condition is checked at the end of the loop after the steps to be repeated are executed.
4. Which of these can CGI stand for?

Answer: Common Gateway Interface

Two of the most commonly used languages for CGI scripts are Perl and C++.
5. Which of these is not a programming language?

Answer: BNF

BNF stands for Backus-Naur Form which is a metalanguage (a language used to describe the rules of another language) to describe the syntax of the language ALGOL 58.
