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.
1. 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.






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






3. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






4. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






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






6. 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).






7. 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.






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






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






10. 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.






11. True and False are the two _____ constants






12. They can both receive and return values.






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

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






17. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






31. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






32. Breaking things into modules.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






43. Where the statements for the module are coded.






44. 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.






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






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






47. The creation (write) of the code.






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






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