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






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






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

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






6. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






7. 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.






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






9. 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.






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

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






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






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






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






16. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






24. 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.






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






26. The stucture of a procedure: Heading - ______ - Statement






27. 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.






28. 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).






29. Break system into manageable units or modules.






30. Modulars are ________ from one another






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






32. The three statements in PASCAL that implement repetition structures:WHILE - FOR - ______.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






41. 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.






42. True and False are the two _____ constants






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






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






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






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






47. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






48. 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.






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