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






2. 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.






3. 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.






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






5. ________ design is the key to the ability to create large systems.






6. The two types of parameters that can be implemented with PASCAL are: _______ and Functions.






7. 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.






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






9. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






10. The creation (write) of the code.






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






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






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






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






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






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






17. They can store values passed on to them but cannot return any values.






18. 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).






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






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. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






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






24. 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.






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






26. True and False are the two _____ constants






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






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






29. Break system into manageable units or modules.






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






31. The space on the task which holds the formal parameters local variables and the return value.






32. Where the statements for the module are coded.






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






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






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






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






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






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






39. 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.






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






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






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






43. <> is the symbol for ___ equal to






44. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






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






46. Modulars are ________ from one another






47. Variable When a variable is declared under a procedure it is a _____ variable?






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






49. They can both receive and return values.






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