- 3. Python has no CASE, so write it as an if/______ chain testing the same variable. The first value uses if, each other value uses ______, and OTHERWISE becomes ______. Word 2 of: if/____/____ (4)
- 6. Each ______ statement becomes one flowchart symbol: assignment is a process box, INPUT/OUTPUT a parallelogram, and IF or loop conditions a decision diamond. Word 1 of: __________ to _________ (10)
- 8. In a flowchart, the loop body comes first, then a decision. NO goes back to the body, YES leaves the loop, so the body runs at least once. Word 2 of: ______ ... _____ (5)
- 10. Word 1 of the term in 8 Across: ______ ... _____ (6)

- 1. The flowchart shape for an IF. It asks a question, then the Yes path and the No path each run their own statements and rejoin before the next step. Word 1 of: ________ diamond (8)
- 2. Set Counter ← 1 in a process box, test Counter <= 10 in a decision, run the body on Yes, then do Counter ← Counter + 1 and flow back to the test. No leaves the loop. Word 3 of: FOR loop _________ (9)
- 4. Python for ______ Age: = replaces the arrow, ______() reads text, and ______() turns that text into a whole number. OUTPUT Age becomes print(Age); use float() for decimals. Word 3 of: Age = ___(_____()) (5)
- 5. Flowchart symbols hold precise pseudocode, not sentences. Process boxes use ← statements like this, decisions use conditions like Mark >= 50, parallelograms use INPUT or OUTPUT. Word 1 of: _____ ← _____ + 1 (5)
- 7. Word 3 of the term in 3 Across: if/____/____ (4)
- 9. Word 2 of the term in 4 Down: Age = ___(_____()) (3)
