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






2. 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.






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






4. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






11. Break system into manageable units or modules.






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






13. 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.






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






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






16. 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.






17. Modulars are ________ from one another






18. The three categories for a program structure are: ____ - Branching/Selection - Looping/Iteration






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






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






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






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






23. 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.






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






25. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






26. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






34. True and False are the two _____ constants






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






36. They can both receive and return values.






37. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






38. The creation (write) of the code.






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






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






41. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






49. Breaking things into modules.






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