Week 1 Quiz

This week, we looked at the Unix Client and basic forming of algorithms. Let's recap how much we learnt/remember!
Note: Some of the questions here also cover the coding component in the Unix workshop!

What language will we be programming in?

Java

Python

Ruby

Clear selection

Does problem solving here always involve fixed linear patterns (i.e Analysis , then design, then implementation and end after testing)

Yes

Not really, but I'm not sure how to explain it

In most cases, I might need to repeat certain steps (i.e. back to design stage after testing)

Clear selection

When coming up with an algorithm, we aim for it to be effective yet general, and most importantly, to the point (exact). In what format can this algorithm be presented in?

A pseudo-code or a flow chart

A pie chart or a bar chart

A trend diagram or graph

Change profession to gardening

Clear selection

What type of language is pseudo-code supposed to be written in?

C++

English or any other language - It's okay as long as the reader understands it

Clear selection

Which of the following IS NOT a valid data type in c

Hint: Look back at pg 25!

int

float

char

cats

Clear selection

From the lecture's examples, a general pattern was observed in the algorithms - input and output. Is this correct?

Looping is missing!

Compute is missing!

Transforming is missing!

I rather be a gardener.

Clear selection

Task 1 in the lecture notes (pg 38) refers to a possible use of Pythagoras theorem to solve the problem. Are there any C libraries that I should include to use to solve the problem?

Hint: You will need to perform square root in the Pythagoras theorem.

stdio.h is sufficient for this program

math.h is required with stdio.h

Only math.h is required

Only time.h is required

Clear selection

When I think my code is not working, what should I do?

Submit to codecrunch and submit to fate

My lecturers and DLs are machines that help me code

Impossible!

Trace my program to check for errors and consult my lecturer or DL to verify my algorithm

Clear selection
