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.

17. Loops that never end because the stopping/exit condition is never met.






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






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






20. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






21. 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.






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






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






24. The creation (write) of the code.






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






26. Modulars are ________ from one another






27. 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.






28. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






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






30. 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.






31. True and False are the two _____ constants






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






33. 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.






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






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






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






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






38. Break system into manageable units or modules.






39. <> is the symbol for ___ equal to






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






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






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






43. 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).






44. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






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






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

50. Where the statements for the module are coded.
