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. 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).






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






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






5. 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.

12. 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.






13. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






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






15. 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.






16. Less than - equal to - not equal to etc. are examples of _________






17. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






25. Where the statements for the module are coded.






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






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






28. 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






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






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






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






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






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

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






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






37. A nested decision making statement can also have a ____ in the inner statement.






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






39. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






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






41. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






42. 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.






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






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