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.

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






22. 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.






23. Break system into manageable units or modules.






24. Modulars are ________ from one another






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






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






27. 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

37. Where the statements for the module are coded.






38. 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).

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






49. 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.
