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.

2. A body of ______ consists of multiple statements. The statements do have a semicolon - including the end (from the begin and end).






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






4. A parameter that is specified as part of a function definition.






5. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






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






7. The order of operations from first to last are ___ - (* / DIV MOD AND) - (+ - OR) - (< > = <= >= <>)






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






9. True and False are the two _____ constants






10. Breaking things into modules.






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






12. A logical circuit which is used to add two binary digits.






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






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






15. Loops that never end because the stopping/exit condition is never met.






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






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






18. All modules must be _____ and they can call other modules.






19. They can both receive and return values.






20. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






21. 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.






22. The five types of operands allowed in Pascal are: Integer - Real - Boolean - _____ - Constant






23. 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.






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






25. When true the if executes the body which is a _________ statement.






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






27. 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.






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






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






30. 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.






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






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. Where the statements for the module are coded.






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






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






36. 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.






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






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






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






40. 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.






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






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






43. Modulars are ________ from one another






44. 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.






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






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






47. The testing of the complete program to determine the overall system functions.






48. 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).






49. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






50. Break system into manageable units or modules.
