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






2. The five activities in the lifetime of a piece of software? are _______ - Design - Implementation (Coding) - Testing - Deployment/Maintenance.






3. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






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






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






6. 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).






7. 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.

18. 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.






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






20. 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.






21. They can both receive and return values.






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






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






24. 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.






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






26. 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.






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






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. Breaking things into modules.






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






31. It makes possible the selection of one of a number of alternative actions - which is implemented by an IF statement.






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

34. Modulars are ________ from one another






35. Local variables have _______ kind of scope

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






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






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






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






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