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.
1. To test that the subprograms are integrated into the program correctly. That they interact with one another correctly - passing the required information to and from one another.






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






3. When true the if executes the body which is a _________ statement.






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






5. 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).






6. For an ____ Boolean Expression to be true the Boolean expressions must evaluate to true before the entire expression is true. If any expression is false then whole expression evaluates to false.






7. The order of operations of the boolean operators from first to last is: NOT - AND - _____






8. The stucture of a procedure: Heading - ______ - Statement






9. An item declared within a procedure or function is not accessible outside that procedure or function.






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






11. A _______ statement involves Decision making with two conditions (true or false). No semicolon after 'else.






12. The two types of parameters that can be implemented with PASCAL are: _______ and Functions.






13. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






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






15. Deploy the software and fix bugs and modify to satisfy changing requirements.






16. 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.






17. A body of ______ consists of multiple statements. The statements do have a semicolon - including the end (from the begin and end).






18. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






19. 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.






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






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






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






23. True and False are the two _____ constants






24. They can both receive and return values.






25. Modules are defined in the ______ part of a program - under the constant.






26. 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






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






28. The testing of the complete program to determine the overall system functions.






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






30. A ______ operand cannot be applied to an AND boolean operator






31. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






32. _______ design starts with high level idea of a solution and successively refine it. It favors hierarchial organization.






33. Less than - equal to - not equal to etc. are examples of _________






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






35. Some logical operators in Pascal are: OR - AND - ___ - NOT - NAND - NOR






36. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






37. It makes possible the selection of one of a number of alternative actions - which is implemented by an IF statement.






38. Loops that never end because the stopping/exit condition is never met.






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






40. A ________ statement is what follows the 'then' in an (if-then statement) and precedes the first semi-colon.






41. A nested decision making statement can also have a ____ in the inner statement.






42. The scope of an entity is the program or subprogram in which it is declared.






43. ________ design is the key to the ability to create large systems.






44. A ______ statement is generally used when the number of times that the loop executes is not known in advance. The loop executes as long as the boolean expression is true.






45. The five activities in the lifetime of a piece of software? are _______ - Design - Implementation (Coding) - Testing - Deployment/Maintenance.






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






47. 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.






48. Where the statements for the module are coded.






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






50. _____ error happens when the type and number of parameters does not match?
