1. In the context of data and databases, what do loops refer to?
Question 1A. Circular references between two tablesB. Iterative processes where a set of operations is repeated multiple times based on a specific conditionC. Network cables connected in a ringD. A type of database indexE. The cyclic refresh of a materialised view
2. Which two types of loops are described?
Question 2A. Nested loops and recursive loopsB. Inner loops and outer loopsC. For loops and while loopsD. Do loops and until loopsE. Batch loops and stream loops
3. What is a for loop used for?
Question 3A. Running until an unknown condition is metB. Locking a table during updatesC. Declaring a counter variable in SQLD. Iterating over a sequence such as a list, array or range a predetermined number of timesE. Joining two tables together
4. When is a while loop especially useful in the data world?
Question 4A. When iterating over a fixed-length listB. When printing every row of a dataset exactly onceC. When the loop must run exactly ten timesD. When processing rows in reverse orderE. When the number of iterations is not known in advance and the loop continues until a condition is met
5. How long does a while loop continue iterating?
Question 5A. As long as a specified condition is trueB. For exactly the number of items in a sequenceC. Until the database connection closesD. Until the user presses a keyE. For a fixed number of seconds
6. Which language is used for the for-loop example that prints each row of a dataset?
Question 6A. SQLB. PythonC. JavaScriptD. VBAE. Java
7. In the SQL while-loop example, what stops the loop?
Question 7A. The dataset running out of rowsB. A BREAK statementC. The @counter variable reaching 10, so the condition @counter < 10 becomes falseD. A timeout set on the databaseE. The END keyword being reached once
8. Which data-related scenarios are given as places where loop structures can be applied?
Question 8A. Only user authenticationB. Only network monitoringC. Only schema designD. Data cleaning, transformation or aggregationE. Only report formatting
9. What is noted about the implementation of loops across languages?
Question 9A. Loops work identically in every languageB. Loops exist only in PythonC. SQL does not support loopsD. Loops are always written with the FOR keywordE. The specific implementation may vary depending on the programming or query language used, such as Python or SQL
10. Which statement about for loops and while loops is NOT correct?
Question 10A. A for loop runs a predetermined number of times over a sequenceB. A while loop is the better choice when the number of iterations is known in advanceC. A while loop continues while its condition remains trueD. Both can be used to process records in a datasetE. For loops are commonly used to iterate through rows in a dataset
