Word scramble
Unscramble the letters and write each key term on the line.
1
TUCON ← UTONC + 1
Flowchart symbols hold precise pseudocode, not sentences. Process boxes use ← statements like this, decisions use conditions like Mark >= 50, parallelograms use INPUT or OUTPUT.
2
ISDCEINO MNAIDOD
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.
3
IELHW TNCOIDION OD
In a flowchart the decision comes first. Yes runs the body and an arrow returns to the decision. No leaves the loop to the next step. The body may run zero times.
4
ETPAER ... TNULI
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.
5
ROF OPOL LTAOFRWCH
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.
6
ASTTR OT PTOS
List the inputs, processes and outputs, then draw Start, the steps in order with the correct symbols, and Stop. Check every path reaches Stop, then trace it with test values.
7
GAE = NII(TUTNP())
Python for INPUT Age: = replaces the arrow, input() reads text, and int() turns that text into a whole number. OUTPUT Age becomes print(Age); use float() for decimals.
8
EE/ILEI/SFLF
Python has no CASE, so write it as an if/elif chain testing the same variable. The first value uses if, each other value uses elif, and OTHERWISE becomes else.

1TUCON ← UTONC + 1 → Count ← Count + 1 — Flowchart symbols hold precise pseudocode, not sentences. Process boxes use ← statements like this, decisions use conditions like Mark >= 50, parallelograms use INPUT or OUTPUT.
2ISDCEINO MNAIDOD → decision diamond — 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.
3IELHW TNCOIDION OD → WHILE condition DO — In a flowchart the decision comes first. Yes runs the body and an arrow returns to the decision. No leaves the loop to the next step. The body may run zero times.
4ETPAER ... TNULI → REPEAT ... UNTIL — 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.
5ROF OPOL LTAOFRWCH → FOR loop flowchart — 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.
6ASTTR OT PTOS → Start to Stop — List the inputs, processes and outputs, then draw Start, the steps in order with the correct symbols, and Stop. Check every path reaches Stop, then trace it with test values.
7GAE = NII(TUTNP()) → Age = int(input()) — Python for INPUT Age: = replaces the arrow, input() reads text, and int() turns that text into a whole number. OUTPUT Age becomes print(Age); use float() for decimals.
8EE/ILEI/SFLF → if/elif/else — Python has no CASE, so write it as an if/elif chain testing the same variable. The first value uses if, each other value uses elif, and OTHERWISE becomes else.
