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.

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






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






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






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






16. 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






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






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






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






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






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






22. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






23. A parameter value that is used in a function call or in a message sent to an object.






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






25. Where the statements for the module are coded.






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






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






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






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






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






31. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






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






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






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






35. The creation (write) of the code.






36. 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.






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






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






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






40. 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.






41. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






42. 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).






43. Break system into manageable units or modules.






44. 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.






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






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

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






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