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






2. Modulars are ________ from one another






3. 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.






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






5. 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).






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






7. 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.






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






9. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






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

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






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






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






16. 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.






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






18. Break system into manageable units or modules.






19. In a multiple ____ statement (Non-Exclusive Condition) any or all or none of the conditions may be true - they are independent.






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






21. Breaking things into modules.






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






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






24. 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.






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






26. It makes possible the selection of one of a number of alternative actions - which is implemented by an IF 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. The three logical flows that govern a structured program are: Sequence - ______ - and Repetition.






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






30. True and False are the two _____ constants






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






41. They can both receive and return values.






42. Where the statements for the module are coded.






43. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






44. _______ boolean expressions are formed by combining boolean expressions using the boolean operators (NOT - AND- OR).






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






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






47. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






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






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






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