Pascal Programming

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.

20. The creation (write) of the code.






21. A special kind of variable used in a subroutine to refer to one of the pieces of data provided as input to the subroutine. Values can be passed from outside the procedure.






22. <> is the symbol for ___ equal to






23. For an ____ Boolean Expression to be true if any Boolean expression evaluates to true then the entire expression evaluates to true.






24. An _____ statement allows the programmer to specify the statement selected for execution when the expression is true. It also indicates an alternative statement when the expression is false.






25. A method of passing a variable to a program by making a copy of the variable and giving it to the called program.






26. In a multiple ____ statement (Non-Exclusive Condition) any or all or none of the conditions may be true - they are independent.






27. A _________ statement is what follows the 'then' in an (if-then statement) and is enclosed within the begin-end pair.

29. The three statements in PASCAL that implement repetition structures:WHILE - FOR - ______.






30. The order of operations from first to last are ___ - (* / DIV MOD AND) - (+ - OR) - (< > = <= >= <>)






31. The three logical flows that govern a structured program are: Sequence - ______ - and Repetition.






32. _______ boolean expressions are formed by combining boolean expressions using the boolean operators (NOT - AND- OR).






33. The space on the task which holds the formal parameters local variables and the return value.






34. Test each module in isolation and test the modules all together and make sure every line of code is tested.






35. A parameter value that is used in a function call or in a message sent to an object.






36. An entity declared in a subprogram can be accessed by any subprogram defined within it - provided that no entity with the same name is declared in the internal subprogram.






37. The five types of operands allowed in Pascal are: Integer - Real - Boolean - _____ - Constant






38. Typically a variable that determines whether or not the loop executes or not.






39. An ____ statement evaluates a Boolean expression. The code will only be executed when the expression evaluates to true.






40. In ______ decision making when the first decision must evaluate to true before the successive (next) decisions are even considered for evaluation. One decision is made inside another. The outer decisions must evaluate to true before inner decisions a






41. A logical circuit which is used to add two binary digits.






42. Refers to the execution of a sequence of statements in the order in which they appear so that each statement is executed exactly once.






43. They can both receive and return values.






44. Finding a ________ module is the process of going from a problem description to writing a program that fulfills those requirements. They cannot be summarized in just a series of steps that fit all scenarios.






45. 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).
