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.

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.

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






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






15. Break system into manageable units or modules.






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






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






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






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






20. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






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






22. An ____ statement evaluates a Boolean expression. The code will only be executed when the expression evaluates to true.






23. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






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






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






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






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






28. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






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






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






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






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






33. 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.






34. 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.






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






36. 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).






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






38. 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






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






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






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






42. It encapsulates a sequence of statements as a single statement. Has a begin and end statement.






43. Modulars are ________ from one another






44. Breaking things into modules.






45. 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.






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






47. 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.






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.
