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.

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






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






4. 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.






5. 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






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






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






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






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






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






11. 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.






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






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






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






15. 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.






16. The creation (write) of the code.






17. <> is the symbol for ___ equal to

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






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






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






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






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






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






25. 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.






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






27. 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.






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






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






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






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






32. They can both receive and return values.






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






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






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






36. True and False are the two _____ constants






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






38. 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.






39. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






40. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






46. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






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






48. 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.






49. Modulars are ________ from one another






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