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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






9. True and False are the two _____ constants






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






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






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






13. Breaking things into modules.






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






15. <> is the symbol for ___ equal to






16. 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).






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






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






19. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






20. 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.






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






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






23. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






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






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






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






27. Modulars are ________ from one another






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






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






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






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






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






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. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






47. A ________ statement is what follows the 'then' in an (if-then statement) and precedes the first semi-colon.

49. The creation (write) of the code.






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