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. 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.






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






3. 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.






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






5. All modules must be _____ and they can call other modules.






6. The creation (write) of the code.






7. 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.






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

19. 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.






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






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






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






23. Break system into manageable units or modules.






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






25. Modulars are ________ from one another






26. Where the statements for the module are coded.






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






28. 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).






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






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






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






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






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






34. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






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






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






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






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






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






40. 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.






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






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