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.

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






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






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






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






6. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






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






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






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

15. 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.

28. This is where the module is invoked or called.






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






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