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 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.






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






4. 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.






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






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






7. True and False are the two _____ constants






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






9. They can both receive and return values.






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






11. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






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






13. The creation (write) of the code.






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

17. Modules are defined in the ______ part of a program - under the constant.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






25. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






26. Where the statements for the module are coded.






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






28. 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.






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






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






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

34. Modulars are ________ from one another






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






36. 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.






37. 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.






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






39. 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






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






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






42. 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.






43. The stucture of a procedure: Heading - ______ - Statement






44. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






45. 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).

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






48. 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.






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