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.

22. 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






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






24. 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).






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






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






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

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






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






31. Where the statements for the module are coded.






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






33. 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.






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






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






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.

44. 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.
