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.

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






8. 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.






9. 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.






10. The creation (write) of the code.






11. 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






12. Where the statements for the module are coded.






13. Breaking things into modules.

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






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






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






19. 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.






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






21. 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.






22. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






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






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






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






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






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






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

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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






40. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






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






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






43. 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.






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






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






46. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






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






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