12 Questions
Explain the process of merging sub-lists together in the algorithm described.
Merge the pairs of sub-lists together sorting the items in the correct order.
What is the key action in Bubble Sort algorithm?
Swap two items if they are in the wrong order.
Describe the key step in the Insertion Sort algorithm.
Inserting each item into the correct position on the left side of the list.
What is the stopping condition in Linear Search?
Stop when the item you are looking for is found or reach the end of the list.
Explain the process of eliminating one half of the list in Binary Search.
Compare the item to the middle one and discard the side that is not needed.
What is the final outcome in Binary Search if the item is not the middle one?
Half of the list is discarded based on the comparison result.
What is a constant in programming?
A named memory location which stores a value that will not change in the program.
Define Input Validation and Input Sanitisation.
Input Validation checks if data is sensible and reasonable based on criteria like length or format, while Input Sanitisation cleans data by removing unwanted characters before input.
Explain the concept of Syntax Error in programming.
Syntax Error refers to errors in the rule of the language, such as misspelled words or missing special characters like a colon.
What is the purpose of Casting in programming?
Casting is the process of changing a variable from one data type to another.
Differentiate between Logic Error and Syntax Error in programming.
Logic Error occurs when the program runs but does not work as intended, while Syntax Error involves errors in the language's rules like misspellings or missing characters.
What are the different Mathematical Operators used in programming?
Mathematical Operators include + (Add), - (Subtract), * (Multiply), / (Divide), MOD (Modulus), DIV (Integer Division).
Test your knowledge on list splitting and merging algorithms. Questions cover steps on how to split a list in halves, repeatedly splitting until lists have only one item, merging sub-lists together in correct order, and more. This quiz also includes questions on Bubble Sort algorithm.
