Subject : it-skills
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

21. The two types of parameters are: ______ and Actual.






22. In Pascal Programs are executed one ______ at a time.






23. An ______ statement evaluates a Boolean expression. A different code will be executed if the expression evaluates to true (the body of the if) than if the expression evaluates to false (the body of the else).






24. ______ design starts by identifying tasks at the bottom level and then combine them to solve the main problem.






25. The three categories for a program structure are: ____ - Branching/Selection - Looping/Iteration
