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.

7. 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.






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






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






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

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






29. 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.






30. 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).






31. Where the statements for the module are coded.






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