The
sequence
control structure executes instructions in the order they are written.
In a sequence control structure, instructions are executed one after the
other
.
Match the control structure with its example:
Sequence ↔️ `print("Hello"); print("World");`
Selection ↔️ `if x > 0: print("Positive")`
Iteration ↔️ `for i in range(5): print(i)`
What are the two main types of loops used in programming?
`for` and `while`
What is the primary purpose of the selection control structure?
Choose execution paths
Which control structure allows programs to make decisions based on conditions?
Selection
What is the main purpose of control structures in managing program flow?
Determine execution sequence
Why are control structures important for creating dynamic programs?
Enable adaptive behavior
The `if-else` statement is used in selection to make decisions based on conditions.
True
What is the role of control structures in determining the order of instruction execution?
Control program flow
What type of loops are used in iteration to repeat a set of instructions?
`for` and `while`
Iteration control structures repeat a set of instructions using loops such as `for` and
while
.
Loops are used in iteration control structures to repeat a set of
actions
.
What is the primary purpose of control structures in managing program flow?
Determine execution sequence
Why are control structures important for creating dynamic programs?
Enable adaptive behavior
The `if-else` statement is used to choose between different execution paths based on a condition.
True
Mastering control structures is crucial for writing efficient, flexible, and responsive
applications
.
True
The
`if-else`
statement executes one block of code if the condition is true and another block if it is false.
True
The `if-else` statement evaluates a
condition
Why are selection control structures important in programming?
Enable programs to adapt
Sequence control structures execute
instructions
in the order they are written.
True
What is the primary purpose of control structures in managing program flow?
Determine execution sequence
How are instructions executed in a sequence control structure?
In sequential order
The `if-else` statement evaluates a
condition
The two primary types of loops are
for
and while loops.
A
for
loop is used to iterate a specific number of times or to loop over each element in a collection.
A nested control structure is one control structure placed inside another control structure to handle complex
scenarios
.
Order the main types of control structures:
1️⃣ Sequence
2️⃣ Selection
3️⃣ Iteration
Control structures enable
programmers
to create dynamic and responsive programs.
True
What is the primary purpose of control structures in programming?
Manage program flow
Control structures are not essential for creating dynamic programs.
False
Control structures allow programmers to structure their code effectively by managing program
flow
The iteration control structure uses loops to repeat instructions multiple
times
Selection control structures use conditional statements to choose between different
paths
Selection control structures enable
programs
to adapt their behavior based on user input.
True
The `while` loop repeats a block of code as long as a
condition
is true.
True
Python uses indentation for code blocks, while Java uses
curly braces
{}.
True
Python uses 'elif' for multiple conditions, while
Java
uses 'else if'.
True
What replaces curly braces in Python for defining code blocks?
Indentation
Nested control structures enhance a program's ability to handle complex scenarios.
