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






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






3. 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.






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






5. 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.






6. True and False are the two _____ constants






7. They can both receive and return values.






8. Breaking things into modules.






9. 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.






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






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






12. 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






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






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






15. 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.






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






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






18. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






19. 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.






20. <> is the symbol for ___ equal to






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






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






23. 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.






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






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






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






28. 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).






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






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






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






32. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






40. Break system into manageable units or modules.






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






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






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






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






45. Modulars are ________ from one another






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






47. The five activities in the lifetime of a piece of software? are _______ - Design - Implementation (Coding) - Testing - Deployment/Maintenance.






48. Where the statements for the module are coded.






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