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. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






15. 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.






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






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






18. 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.






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






20. Less than - equal to - not equal to etc. are examples of _________






21. 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.






22. Where the statements for the module are coded.






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






24. 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.






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






26. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






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






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






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






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






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






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






33. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






34. Modulars are ________ from one another






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






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






37. True and False are the two _____ constants






38. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






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






40. Typically a variable that determines whether or not the loop executes or not.






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






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






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






44. 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.






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






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






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






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






49. They can both receive and return values.






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