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.

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






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






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






42. 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).






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






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






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