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






5. 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.






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






7. Break system into manageable units or modules.






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






9. Where the statements for the module are coded.






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






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






12. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






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






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






15. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






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






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






18. Modulars are ________ from one another






19. 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






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






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






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






23. 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.






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






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






26. 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).






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






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






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






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






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






32. They can both receive and return values.






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






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






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






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






37. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






46. 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.






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






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






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






50. 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.
