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.

8. 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.

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






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






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






16. They can store values passed on to them but cannot return any values.






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






18. Break system into manageable units or modules.

20. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






21. Where the statements for the module are coded.






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






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






24. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






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






26. <> is the symbol for ___ equal to






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






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






29. Breaking things into modules.






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






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






33. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






39. 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.






40. 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.






41. They can both receive and return values.






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






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






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






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

47. 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






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






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






50. 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.
