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.

12. 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.






13. 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.






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






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






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






17. 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.






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






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






20. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






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






22. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






29. 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).






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






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






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






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






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

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






38. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






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






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






41. 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.

44. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






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






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






47. 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.






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






49. They can both receive and return values.
