ENGR 111 (Fullerton TAMU) Exam #1 Questions
with Correct Answers
List the 7 properties of algorithms. Correct Answer-1. Input: An
algorithm has input values from a specified set.
2. Output: From each set of input values, an algorithm produces output
values from a specified set. The output values are the solution to the
problem.
3. Definiteness: The steps of an algorithm must be defined precisely.
4. Correctness: An algorithm should produce the correct output values
for each set of input values.
5. Effectiveness: It must be possible to perform each step of an
algorithm exactly and in a finite amount of time.
6. Finiteness: An algorithm should produce the desired output after a
finite (but perhaps large) number of steps for any input in the set.
7. Generality: The procedure should be applicable for all problems of the
desired form, not just for a particular set of input values.
Explain the difference between conditional and repetition algorithmic
structures. Correct Answer-Conditional: If some condition is met, then
do X, else do Y.
,Repetition (Loops): Repeat X N times or repeat X until condition C is
met.
Describe the four most common structures of algorithms. Correct
Answer-1. Sequential :First do X, then do Y, then do Z.
2. Conditional: If some condition is met, then do X, else do Y.
3. Repetition / Loops: Repeat X N times or repeat X until condition C is
met.
4. Concurrence: Do X and Y at the same time.
What is the input/output flow diagram symbol? Correct Answer-
Rhombus
What is the process instruction flow diagram symbol? Correct Answer-
Rectangle
What is the control flow flow diagram symbol? Correct Answer-Arrow
What is the conditional test or decision flow diagram symbol? Correct
Answer-Diamond
, What is the start/end flow diagram symbol? Correct Answer-Oval
What symbol is used to represent connectors on/off the page in a flow
diagram? Correct Answer-Circle/pentagon
What is the subroutine flow diagram symbol? Correct Answer-Divided
rectangle
What is pseudo code? Correct Answer-A linear written algorithm
(narrative set of instructions) to solve an engineering problem. Every
step included must not be subject to misinterpretation; clear list of
actions and decisions.
Define engineer. Correct Answer-"Engineers use scientific knowledge to
analyze, design and develop practical systems for the benefit of society."
Define algorithm. Correct Answer-An algorithm is a well defined
sequence of instructions that describe a process or a systematic generic
solution of an engineering problem.
Define a "standard computer." Correct Answer-It reads input and stores
it in memory. It computes functions of the input using an
arithmetic/logic unit, and stores the result in memory. It produces output.
Define "computation." Correct Answer-The movement and
transformation of data.
