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.

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






4. 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.






5. 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.

19. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






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






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






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






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






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






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






26. Break system into manageable units or modules.






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






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






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






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






31. 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.






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






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






34. True and False are the two _____ constants






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

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






38. Breaking things into modules.






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






40. 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).

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






49. 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
