| 2. | | an outline of a program, written in a form that can easily be converted into real programming statements; a notational system for algorithms that has been described as a mixture of English and your favorite programming language |
| |
| 3. | | this command is the simplest control structure but is rarely used by skilled programmers because it can lead to programs that are difficult to understand and maintain |

| 4. | | In the context of the object-oriented paradigm, an ______ is a unit of data that represents an abstract or a real-world entity, such as a person, place, or thing. |
| |
| 5. | | A ______ control structure changes the order in which instructions are carried out by directing the computer to execute an instruction elsewhere in the program. |
| |
| 6. | | The ______-______ paradigm is based on the idea that the solution for a problem can be visualized in terms of objects that interact with each other. |
| |
| 7. | | in software engineering, a graphical representation of the way a computer should progress from one instruction to the next when it performs a task |
| |
| 8. | | A subroutine, procedure, or ______ is a section of code that is part of a program, but is not included in the main sequential execution path. |
| |
| 9. | | ______ English is a subset of the English language with a limited selection of sentence structures that reflect processing activities. |

| 12. | | A ______ control structure directs the computer to repeat one or more instructions until a certain condition is met. |
| |
| 13. | | A ______ control structure tells a computer what to do, based on whether a condition is true or false. |

| 14. | | The section of code that repeats is usually referred to as a ______ or “iteration.” |
