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

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






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






5. 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.






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






7. 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






8. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






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






10. 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.






11. Where the statements for the module are coded.






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






13. The three categories for a program structure are: ____ - Branching/Selection - Looping/Iteration

15. A ______ operand cannot be applied to an AND boolean operator






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






17. 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.






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






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






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






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






22. They can both receive and return values.






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






24. 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).






25. 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.






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






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






28. 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.






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






30. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






31. 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.






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






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






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






35. 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.






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






37. Break system into manageable units or modules.






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






39. Breaking things into modules.






40. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






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






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






43. 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.






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






45. True and False are the two _____ constants






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






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