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.

11. 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.






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






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






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






15. 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.






16. <> is the symbol for ___ equal to






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






18. 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.






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






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






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






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






23. 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.






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






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






26. 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.






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






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






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

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






32. 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.






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. This is where the module is invoked or called.






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






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






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






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






39. Where the statements for the module are coded.

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






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






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






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






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