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






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






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






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






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






6. 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






7. True and False are the two _____ constants






8. 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.






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






10. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






11. Modulars are ________ from one another






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






13. 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.






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






15. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






21. Breaking things into modules.






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






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






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






25. 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.






26. A global entity is accessible throughout the main program and in any subprogram in which no local entity has the same name as the global item.






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






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






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






30. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






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






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






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






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






35. 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).






36. Modules can be called anywhere in the program - but must be done after their ______.






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






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






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






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






41. A parameter that is specified as part of a function definition.






42. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






43. All modules must be _____ and they can call other modules.






44. They can both receive and return values.






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






46. 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.






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






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






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






50. Variable When a variable is declared under a procedure it is a _____ variable?
