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.

18. ______ Decision Making checks if a particular condition is true.






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






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






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






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






23. The creation (write) of the code.






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






25. Breaking things into modules.






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






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






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






29. 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.






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






31. They can both receive and return values.






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






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

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






39. 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.






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






41. 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.
