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.

6. 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).






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






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






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






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






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






12. <> is the symbol for ___ equal to






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






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






15. 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.






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






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






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






19. 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.






20. 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.






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






22. ________ design is the key to the ability to create large systems.






23. Where the statements for the module are coded.






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






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






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






27. A _______ statement involves Decision making with two conditions (true or false). No semicolon after 'else.






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






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






30. True and False are the two _____ constants






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






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






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






34. 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.






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






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






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






38. 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.






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






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






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






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






43. The creation (write) of the code.






44. Breaking things into modules.






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






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






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






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






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






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