Question 5

An instruction that repeats a set of steps multiple times is called a _______.

Accepted Answer

Loop

Question 6

In computational thinking, what is 'Pattern Recognition'?

Accepted Answer

Looking for similarities and trends within problems to find a common solution.

Question 7

True or False: Computers are smart enough to guess what you mean even if your algorithm is missing a step.

Accepted Answer

False

Question 8

Conditionals

Accepted Answer

Statements that allow an algorithm to make a decision, often using 'If-Then' logic.
