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






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






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






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






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






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






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






8. The creation (write) of the code.






9. 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).






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






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






12. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






13. A _________ statement is what follows the 'then' in an (if-then statement) and is enclosed within the begin-end pair.






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






15. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






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






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






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






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






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






21. They can both receive and return values.






22. Where the statements for the module are coded.






23. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






24. 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.






25. It makes possible the selection of one of a number of alternative actions - which is implemented by an IF statement.






26. 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.






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






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






29. ______ Decision Making checks if a particular condition is true.






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






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






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






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






35. The two types of parameters that can be implemented with PASCAL are: _______ and Functions.






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






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






38. Modulars are ________ from one another






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






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






41. 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.






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






43. Less than - equal to - not equal to etc. are examples of _________






44. True and False are the two _____ constants






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






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






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






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






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






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