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.

3. 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.






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






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






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

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






9. The five types of operands allowed in Pascal are: Integer - Real - Boolean - _____ - Constant






10. 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.






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






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

14. Some logical operators in Pascal are: OR - AND - ___ - NOT - NAND - NOR






15. 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






16. Test each module in isolation and test the modules all together and make sure every line of code is tested.






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






18. A ________ statement is what follows the 'then' in an (if-then statement) and precedes the first semi-colon.






19. 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.






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






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






22. Break system into manageable units or modules.






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






24. <> is the symbol for ___ equal to






25. Less than - equal to - not equal to etc. are examples of _________






26. A _______ statement involves Decision making with two conditions (true or false). No semicolon after 'else.






27. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






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






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

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






39. The creation (write) of the code.






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

42. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






43. A _________ statement is what follows the 'then' in an (if-then statement) and is enclosed within the begin-end pair.






44. 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.






45. A parameter value that is used in a function call or in a message sent to an object.






46. All modules must be _____ and they can call other modules.






47. 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.






48. _______ design starts with high level idea of a solution and successively refine it. It favors hierarchial organization.






49. Breaking things into modules.






50. Where the statements for the module are coded.
