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.

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






22. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






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






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






25. 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.






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

32. 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.






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






34. 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.






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






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






37. 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.






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