The loop control variable is initialized after entering the loop. (T/F)

In some cases, a loop control variable does not have to be initialized. (T/F)

An indefinite loop is a loop that never stops. (T/F)

You can either increment or decrement the loop control variable. (T/F)

When one loop appears inside another is called an indented loop. (T/F)

Forgetting to initialize and alter the loop control variable is a common mistake that programmers sometimes make. (T/F)

Every high-level computer programming language contains a while statement. (T/F)

Both the while loop and the for loop are examples of pretest loops. (T/F)

The safest action is to assign the value 1 to accumulators before using them. (T/F)

It is the programmer's responsibility to initialize all variables that must start with a specific value. (T/F)

The first step in a while loop is typically to _______.

An _____ is any numeric variable you use to count the number of times an event has occurred.

A loop within another loop is known as an _________ loop.

When one loop appears inside another, the loop that contains the other loop is called the _____ loop.

A mistake programmers often make with loops is that they _______________.

A comparison is correct only when the correct ______ and operator are used.

Programmers use the term ________ to describe programs that are well designed and easy to understand the maintain.

You usually use the for loop with ________ loops.

The ________ loop provides three actions in one compact statement.

The amount by which a for loop control variable changes is often called a ___________ value.

In a ________, the loop body might never execute because the question controlling the loop might be false the first time it is asked.

In a _________, the loop body executes at least one time because the loop control variable is not tested until after one iteration.

The ____ loop is particularly useful when processing arrays.

An _____ is a very similar to a counter that you use to count loop iterations, expect that usually add a value other than one to this type of variable.

_______ is a technique with which you try to prepare for all possible errors before they occur.

Business reports that list only totals, with no individual items= details, are called __________.

Loops are frequently used to ______; that is, to make sure it is meaningful and useful.

Programmers employ the acronym __________ to mean that if your input is incorrect, your output is worthless.

__________ a data item means you override incorrect data by setting the variable to specific value.
