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.

2. Modulars are ________ from one another






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






4. 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

8. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






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






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






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






12. 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.






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






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

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






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






21. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






27. 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.






28. Breaking things into modules.






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






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






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






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






33. 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).






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






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

43. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






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






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