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.

4. 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.






5. 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.






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






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






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






9. 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.






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






11. The creation (write) of the code.






12. 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.






13. In ______ decision making when the first decision must evaluate to true before the successive (next) decisions are even considered for evaluation. One decision is made inside another. The outer decisions must evaluate to true before inner decisions a






14. To test that the subprograms are integrated into the program correctly. That they interact with one another correctly - passing the required information to and from one another.






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

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






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






21. 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.






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






23. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






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






25. When true the if executes the body which is a _________ statement.






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






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






28. An item declared within a procedure or function is not accessible outside that procedure or function.






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






30. Modulars are ________ from one another






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






32. 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.






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






34. The stucture of a procedure: Heading - ______ - Statement






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






44. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






45. True and False are the two _____ constants






46. 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.
