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.

10. 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.






11. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






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

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






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






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






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






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






21. <> is the symbol for ___ equal to






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






23. Breaking things into modules.






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






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






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






27. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






28. Modulars are ________ from one another






29. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






35. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






42. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






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






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






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






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






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






48. The creation (write) of the code.






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






50. 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.
