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. 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).






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






9. 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






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






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






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






13. The creation (write) of the code.






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






15. <> is the symbol for ___ equal to

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






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






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






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






21. 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.






22. Breaking things into modules.






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






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






25. True and False are the two _____ constants






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






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






28. Where the statements for the module are coded.






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






30. 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.






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






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






33. The stucture of a procedure: Heading - ______ - Statement






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






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






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






37. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






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






39. 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.






40. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






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






42. A body of ______ consists of multiple statements. The statements do have a semicolon - including the end (from the begin and end).






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






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






45. 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.






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






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






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






49. 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.






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