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






2. Where the statements for the module are coded.






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

16. 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).






17. 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.






18. 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.

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






22. This is where the module is invoked or called.






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






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






25. They can both receive and return values.






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

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






35. Breaking things into modules.






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.

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






42. The testing of the complete program to determine the overall system functions.






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