True/False: Programmers start writing code as the first step when they begin a new project.

True/False: The expressions (a + b) / c and a + b / c will always yield identical results.

True/False: An uninitialized variable is a variable that has been declared and automatically initialized to zero.

True/False: A named constant can be assigned a value using a Set statement.

True/False: Ovals are used as terminal symbols marking the starting and end of the pseudocode.

True/False: It has been proven by a group of mathematicians that all programs can be written using only three structures.

True/False: A variable is a storage location in memory that is represented by a name and can hold different values during the execution of the program.

True/False: Most programming languages do not automatically print spaces between multiple items that are displayed on the screen.

True/False: If you mistakenly write pseudocode into an editor for an actual programming language, such as Python or Visual Basic, errors will result.

True/False: Programmers use pseudocode to create "mock-ups" of programs because they do not have to worry about syntax rules.
