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.

8. 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.






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






10. 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.

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






15. 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.






16. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






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






18. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






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






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






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






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






23. They can both receive and return values.






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






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






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






27. Breaking things into modules.






28. <> is the symbol for ___ equal to






29. 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.






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






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






32. The creation (write) of the code.






33. 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






34. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






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






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






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






38. Where the statements for the module are coded.






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






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






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






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






43. 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.






44. Break system into manageable units or modules.






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






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






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






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






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






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