Unfortunately, this test will not be able to receive a prize:
Missing explanations. More than 10 explanations simply repeat the correct answers. E.g:#q4, #q5, q6, #q7, #q8, #q9, #q10, #q11, #q29, #q30, etc.
The original verdict was confirmed to be correct.
Improper sentence in explanation :
In question : List of instructions we write in a programming language the computer understands is known as?
Explanation is given as : Computer Program is a list of instructions we write in a programming language the computer understands is known as
Here last three words should not be there
----------------------------------
mispelled word in question and explanation :
In question : A set of intructions that tells the computer how to behave, what to do and derive at a solution to a particular problem is:
word "instructions" is mispelled as "intructions"
----------------------------------
In question : What data type is used to hold a value that is either *true* or *false?
one * is missing after false
----------------------------------
Q3. In programming, what's the most common term for a data type that stores textual content (like sentences and paragraphs)?
Q21. In programming, what's the most common term for **a data type that stores textual content** (like sentences and paragraphs?
Answer is "String" in both.
Question 11 asks how to execute several lines of code multiple times, and defines "Iteration" as the correct and "Recursion" as a wrong answer. However, it's definitely possible to execute lines of code multiple times using recursion (not just in theory, in languages like Haskell using recursion instead of iteration to repeat some instructions is heavily encouraged[1]). So I'd recommend to remove the answer "Recursion" here, otherwise there are multiple correct options but only one that is marked as correct.
