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.

17. 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.






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

20. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






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






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






23. 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.






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






25. Break system into manageable units or modules.






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






27. The creation (write) of the code.






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






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






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






31. The order of operations of the boolean operators from first to last is: NOT - AND - _____






32. 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






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






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






35. Modulars are ________ from one another






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






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






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






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






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






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






42. True and False are the two _____ constants






43. Breaking things into modules.






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






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






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






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






49. They can store values passed on to them but cannot return any values.






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