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.

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






22. 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.






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






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






25. 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.






26. 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.






27. They can both receive and return values.






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

31. The order of operations of the boolean operators from first to last is: NOT - AND - _____






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






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






34. Breaking things into modules.






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

39. The creation (write) of the code.






40. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






41. 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.
