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.

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






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






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






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






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