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. 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.






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






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






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






5. Where the statements for the module are coded.






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






7. 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.






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






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






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






11. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






12. 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).






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






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






15. Break system into manageable units or modules.






16. Modulars are ________ from one another






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






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






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






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






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






22. Breaking things into modules.






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






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






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






26. 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.






27. The creation (write) of the code.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






38. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






44. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






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






46. 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.
