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.

23. True and False are the two _____ constants






24. 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.






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






26. 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.






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






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






29. 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.
