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.

21. 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.






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






23. The scope of an entity is the program or subprogram in which it is declared.






24. 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.






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






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






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






28. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






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






30. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






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

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






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






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.






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






38. Modulars are ________ from one another






39. 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.






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






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






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






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

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






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






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. 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.






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