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 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).

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






23. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






24. Break system into manageable units or modules.






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






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






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






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






29. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






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






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






32. The creation (write) of the code.






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






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






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






36. Where the statements for the module are coded.






37. 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.






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






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






40. 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.
