    • +

    • ()

    Correct Answer
    A. And

    Which data structure uses LIFO? - ProProfs

    Which data structure uses LIFO?

    • Queues

    • Int

    • Stacks

    • Array

    Correct Answer
    A. Stacks
    Explanation
    Stacks use the LIFO (Last-In-First-Out) principle, meaning that the last element added to the stack is the first one to be removed. This is similar to a stack of plates, where the last plate placed on top is the first one to be taken off. In a stack, elements can only be added or removed from the top, making it a suitable data structure for tasks that require accessing elements in a specific order, such as undo/redo operations or function call execution.

    • Word

    • Int

    • Double

    • Char

    Correct Answer
    A. Char
    Explanation
    A memory location that holds a single letter or number is called a "char." It is a data type in programming languages that represents a single character, such as a letter or a number. It is used to store and manipulate individual characters or small numeric values within a computer's memory.

    Which of the following statements is False? - ProProfs

    Which of the following statements is False?

    • In a flowchart all the necessary inputs should be listed out in a logical order

    • The input, process, output, and display symbols should have only one flow line

    • Flowcharts can have only one start point and one end point

    • The flowchart should be clear, precise and easy to follow

    Correct Answer
    A. The input, process, output, and display symbols should have only one flow line
    Explanation
    The statement "The input, process, output, and display symbols should have only one flow line" is false because these symbols can have multiple flow lines to represent different paths or branches in the flowchart.

    Which symbol on a flowchart is used to represent the connection between the portions of a flowchart on separate pages? - ProProfs

    Which symbol on a flowchart is used to represent the connection between the portions of a flowchart on separate pages?

    • Flow Line

    • Annotation

    • On Page Connector

    • Off Page Connector

    Correct Answer
    A. Off Page Connector
    Explanation
    Off Page Connector is the symbol used to represent the connection between the portions of a flowchart on separate pages. It indicates that the flowchart continues on another page or a different location within the same page. This symbol helps in maintaining the flow and organization of the flowchart, allowing for a clear representation of the process or system being depicted.

    • Special operators

    • Logical operators

    • Arithmetic operators

    • Relational operators

    Correct Answer
    A. Relational operators
    Explanation
    Relational operators are used to test the relationship between two variables or between a variable and a constant. These operators include equals to (==), not equals to (!=), greater than (>), less than (=), and less than or equal to (

    Which of the following is NOT a type of algorithm? - ProProfs

    Which of the following is NOT a type of algorithm?

    • Decision Table

    • Program

    • Flowchart

    • Pseudocode

    Correct Answer

    What represent algorithms that involve complex decision-making? - ProProfs

    What represent algorithms that involve complex decision-making?

    • Decision Tables

    • Pseudocode

    • Programs

    • Flowcharts

    Correct Answer
    A. Decision Tables
    Explanation
    Decision Tables represent algorithms that involve complex decision-making. They provide a structured way to define and analyze different combinations of conditions and actions. Decision Tables are particularly useful when there are multiple conditions and actions involved, and they help in simplifying and organizing the decision-making process. Flowcharts, Programs, and Pseudocode are also used in algorithm development, but Decision Tables specifically focus on complex decision-making.

    • Literals

    • Operands

    • Values

    • Operators

    Correct Answer
    A. Operands
    Explanation
    In the given expression (z = x + y), x and y are referred to as operands. Operands are the variables or values that are used in an expression to perform operations. In this case, x and y are the operands that are being added together to calculate the value of z.
