Kotlin Control Flow Quiz

Welcome to the Kotlin Control Flow Quiz! This quiz will test your understanding of Kotlin’s control flow mechanisms, which are essential for writing effective and efficient code. You’ll explore concepts like looping structures (for, while, and do…while loops), conditional statements (if, when), and control flow modifiers (break, continue). Each question is designed to reinforce key principles of how Kotlin controls code execution, helping you better manage decision-making and repetitive tasks in your programs.

What is the main advantage of using labeled break and continue statements in nested loops?

They replace all conditions

They allow breaking or continuing specific loops directly

They avoid syntax errors

They make the code run faster

None

What does the do…while loop ensure?

The loop runs in reverse order

The loop stops after a set number of iterations

The loop executes at least once

The loop executes only when a condition is true

None

Which Kotlin loop is best suited for iterating through a known sequence of items?

infinite loop

do…while loop

for-in loop

while loop

None

What is the primary purpose of the when statement in Kotlin?

To create infinite loops

To handle multiple conditional branches more cleanly than if statements

To handle errors in code

To perform arithmetic operations

None

Which Kotlin control flow statement executes code only when a Boolean expression is true?

if statement

when statement

for loop

switch statement

None

What happens if a break statement is used inside a nested loop without a label?

It exits all loops

It causes a syntax error

It exits the current loop

It continues to the next iteration

None

What is the function of the 'step' keyword in a for loop?

It repeats the loop indefinitely

It stops the loop after one iteration

It inverts the loop range

It defines the increment for each iteration

None

What does the 'if…else if…else' construct allow you to do?

Create infinite loops

Check multiple conditions sequentially

Create a closed range of numbers

Perform bitwise operations

None

What is a label in Kotlin used for?

To print values in the console

To define a constant

To initiate a new function

To mark a specific loop or expression for break or continue

None

10.

How does a 'when' statement differ from a 'switch' statement in other programming languages?

It can handle complex expressions as conditions

It only works with integers

It is case-sensitive

It cannot have a default case

None

11.

Which control flow statement in Kotlin is used to make decisions based on one or more criteria?

loop

switch

continue

None

12.

What is the output of the following Kotlin code ?

for (index in 1..5) { 
 println(index) 
}

1, 3, 5

5, 4, 3, 2, 1

0, 1, 2, 3, 4

1, 2, 3, 4, 5

None

13.

What type of range does the 'until' function in Kotlin create?

Closed range

Infinite range

Open range

Half-closed range

None

14.

Which loop guarantees that the code inside it will be executed at least once?

while loop

do…while loop

for loop

repeat loop

None

15.

What is control flow in programming?

The order in which code is written

The logic that dictates which code gets executed and which gets bypassed

The process of compiling code

The style of writing code in a readable way

None

16.

In a when statement, what is the role of the 'else' branch?

It ends the when statement

It throws an error

It executes if none of the other conditions match

It repeats the first case

None

17.

Which Kotlin construct provides a cleaner alternative to multiple if…else statements?

goto statement

when statement

switch statement

while statement

None

18.

How does the Kotlin if expression differ from traditional if statements in other languages?

It requires curly braces for all conditions

It returns a result and can be used in expressions

It does not allow nested conditions

It cannot be used in loops

None

19.

Which statement is used in Kotlin to provide labels for breaking out of nested loops?

goto

break with label

named

labeled

None

20.

What does the 'continue' statement do in a loop?

Exits the loop immediately

Repeats the loop from the beginning

Skips the remaining code in the current iteration

Pauses the loop execution

None

21.

What is the purpose of the 'break' statement in a loop?

To skip the current iteration

To exit the loop immediately

To restart the loop

To repeat the last iteration

None

22.

How does a do…while loop differ from a while loop?

It does not repeat the loop

It executes the condition before the loop body

It only works with arrays

It executes the loop body before checking the condition

None

23.

When is a while loop preferred over a for loop in Kotlin?

When the number of iterations is known

When the number of iterations is unknown

When the loop needs to iterate through a range

When working with arrays

None

24.

Which function is used to change the increment value of a Kotlin for loop?

increment

step

jump

add

None

25.

What does the 'until' function do in a Kotlin for loop?

Creates an infinite loop

Iterates up to but does not include the specified endpoint

Multiplies each loop value

Counts down from a maximum value

None

26.

What is the purpose of the 'downTo' function in a Kotlin for loop?

To repeat the loop indefinitely

To iterate forward through a range

To skip values in a loop

To count backward through a range

None

27.

Which Kotlin loop is used to iterate over a sequence of items?

for-in loop

repeat loop

while loop

do…while loop

None
