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.

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






12. Where the statements for the module are coded.






13. The five types of operands allowed in Pascal are: Integer - Real - Boolean - _____ - Constant






14. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






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






16. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






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






18. 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).






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






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






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






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






23. 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.






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






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






26. 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.






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






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






29. 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.






30. Break system into manageable units or modules.






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






32. Modulars are ________ from one another






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






34. Variable When a variable is declared under a procedure it is a _____ variable?






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






36. 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.






37. It encapsulates a sequence of statements as a single statement. Has a begin and end statement.






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






39. 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.






40. They can both receive and return values.






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






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






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






44. True and False are the two _____ constants






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






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






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






48. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






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






50. 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.
