Chapter 9 Procedures and Arrays

Programming Right From the Start with Visual Basic.NETCHAPTER 9Procedures and ArraysTrue-False Questions1. Some Visual Basic code is written inside procedures. Answer: False Level: Easy Section: 9-1 Page: 212 2. Procedures make it possible to create modular programming. Answer: True Level: Easy Section: 9-1 Page: 2123. Once a procedure is called during the lifetime of the program, it can not be called again. Answer: False Level: Easy Section: 9-1 Page: 2124. The three types of procedures are episode, function, and sub. Answer: False Level: Easy Section: 9-1 Page: 2125. A parameter is used to send information into a procedure, and an argument is used to carry information out of a procedure. Answer: False Level: Moderate Section: 9-1 Page: 2126. The private keyword at the beginning of the procedure declaration will restrict access to the procedure. Answer: True Level: Moderate Section: 9-2 Page: 2137. Event procedures cannot be declared with the Public keyword for accessibility. Answer: False Level: Hard Section: 9-2 Page: 2138. The Handles keyword is optional in an event procedure. Answer: False Level: Moderate Section: 9-2 Page: 2139. Every event procedure has two parameters. Answer: True Level: Easy Section: 9-2 Page: 21310. The a parameter in an event procedure holds the arguments associated with that event. Answer: False Level: Moderate Section: 9-2 Page: 2139 - 1 Chapter 9 – Procedures and Arrays11. The sender parameter in an event procedure holds a reference to the object that raised the event. Answer: True Level: Moderate Section: 9-2 Page: 21312. The default is for parameters to be sent as ByRef. Answer: False Level: Moderate Section: 9-2 Page: 21313. To create an event procedure you must type the procedure declaration in the code editor. Answer: False Level: Easy Section: 9-2 Page: 21314. Double clicking on a Button control in the Designer window will automatically create a click event procedure stub in the Code Editor window. Answer: True Level: Moderate Section: 9-2 Page: 21315. Some sub procedures cannot be called multiple times. Answer: False Level: Easy Section: 9-3 Page: 21316. One important purpose of a sub procedure is to make the code easier to understand. Answer: True Level: Easy Section: 9-3 Page: 21317. When calling a sub procedure, parentheses are optional if there are no arguments. Answer: False Level: Easy Section: 9-3 Page: 21518. The Handles keyword is optional in a sub procedure. Answer: False Level: Hard Section: 9-3 Page: 21519. Parameters are optional in a sub procedure. Answer: True Level: Easy Section: 9-3 Page: 21520. A function must have an assigned data type. Answer: True Level: Easy Section: 9-4 Page: 21621. A function procedure must have one or more parameters. Answer: False Level: Easy Section: 9-4 Page: 2169 - 2 Chapter 9 – Procedures and Arrays22. A function procedure must have a Return statement. Answer: False Level: Hard Section: 9-4 Page: 21623. Only one Return statement is allowed in a function procedure. Answer: False Level: Moderate Section: 9-4 Page: 21624. A function can act like an expression in an assignment statement. Answer: True Level: Moderate Section: 9-4 Page: 21625. Modular programming aims to decrease coupling and increase cohesion. Answer: True Level: Hard Section: 9-4 Page: 21726. A function procedure is identical to a sub procedure. Answer: False Level: Easy Section: 9-4 Page: 21727. Local variables are declared in the General Declaration Section of the program. Answer: False Level: Easy Section: 9-5 Page: 21828. Module variables can be accessed from any procedure in a module. Answer: True Level: Easy Section: 9-5 Page: 21829. The scope of a variable means how long the variable lasts in memory. Answer: False Level: Moderate Section: 9-5 Page: 21830. It is best to declare all variables as module because then any procedure can access any variable. Answer: False Level: Moderate Section: 9-5 Page: 21831. A local variable is recreated anew every time its procedure is activated. Answer: True Level: Moderate Section: 9-5 Page: 21832. A module variable will not work unless its name starts with the letter m as a prefix. Answer: False Level: Moderate Section: 9-5 Page: 21833. The index for the first element of an array is either 0 or 1. Answer: False Level: Easy Section: 9-6 Page: 2199 - 3 Chapter 9 – Procedures and Arrays34. An array consists of multiple elements. Answer: True Level: Easy Section: 9-6 Page: 21935. The upper bound of an array equals the length of the array. Answer: False Level: Easy Section: 9-6 Page: 21936. When declaring an array, the upper bound of an array must be included. Answer: False Level: Moderate Section: 9-6 Page: 22037. When an array is made larger, the Preserve statement will prevent the values in the data elements from being lost. Answer: True Level: Easy Section: 9-6 Page: 22238. A structure can hold multiple values of a single datatype. Answer: False Level: Easy Section: 9-7 Page: 22639. A member of a structure is the same as a variable declared in a structure. Answer: True Level: Moderate Section: 9-7 Page: 22640. A period is used to reference the name of a variable in a structure. Answer: True Level: Easy Section: 9-7 Page: 22641. An array cannot hold a structure datatype. Answer: False Level: Easy Section: 9-7 Page: 22642. An array can hold controls as their datatype. Answer: True Level: Easy Section: 9-8 Page: 22843. A special DimControl statement is needed to create an array of controls. Answer: False Level: Easy Section: 9-8 Page: 22844. The only way to create an array of controls is to assign existing controls to the array during the Form Load event. Answer: False Level: Moderate Section: 9-8 Page: 22845. The Tag property is only associated with label and textbox controls. Answer: False Level: Moderate Section: 9-8 Page: 2289 - 4 Chapter 9 – Procedures and Arrays46. The Tag property is used to hold any kind of information needed in the program. Answer: True Level: Moderate Section: 9-8 Page: 22847. Pressing the Shift, Control, or Alt key by itself will not generate a KeyPress event. Answer: True Level: Moderate Section: 9-9 Page: 23348. Arrow keys do not generate a KeyPress event, but they do generate a KeyDown event. Answer: False Level: Moderate Section: 9-9 Page: 23349. The KeyChar property in a KeyPress event can distinguish between an upper and lower case letter. Answer: True Level: Easy Section: 9-9 Page: 23350. If the Handled Property in a KeyPress event is set to True, the letter typed will not appear in the textbox. Answer: True Level: Easy Section: 9-9 Page: 233Multiple Choice Questions51.

Describe three ways to create the declaration for an Event Procedure? Which is the best method and why?In the Form Design window double-clicking on the object will cause the IDE to automatically write the event procedure stub for the default event of an object.The programmer can type the event procedure stub into the Code Editor window.In the Code Editor window, the programmer can first select the object from the Class combo box (at the top of the Code Editor window) and then select the Event from the Method combo box. This will cause the IDE to automatically write the event procedure stub for that object.The easiest method is the double-click method, but this only works for one event in each object.The combo box method can be used for any event and any object. Its advantage is that the procedure stub is created automatically.The typing method should not be used because it is prone to operator error. The benefit of using the VB.Net IDE is that it can automatically and accurately create code. This is why VB.Net is a popular language for Rapid Application Development (RAD). Typing in code by hand defeats the benefit of having automatic code generation capabilities.118. a) Create a structure named Employee that contains three variables: EmployeeID (Integer), LastName (String), FirstName (String), and Salary (Decimal). Then create a module level array that holds ten employees.Structure Employee Dim EmployeeID As Integer Dim LastName As String Dim FirstName As String Dim Salary As Decimal End StructureDim mEmployees(9) As Employee b) Create a Sub Procedure named InitializeID that uses a loop to put the values 1 to 10 in the EmployeeID for the employee's array.Private Sub InitializeID() Dim I As IntegerFor I = 0 To UBound(mEmployees) mEmployees(I).EmployeeID = I + 1 Next IEnd Sub9 - 15
