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.

38. Finding a ________ module is the process of going from a problem description to writing a program that fulfills those requirements. They cannot be summarized in just a series of steps that fit all scenarios.






39. 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.






40. 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.






41. 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.
