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.

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).

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






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






16. 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






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






18. Breaking things into modules.






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






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






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






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






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






24. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






33. 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.






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






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






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






37. They can both receive and return values.






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. This is where the module is invoked or called.






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






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






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






43. 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.






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