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.

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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






28. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






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






30. 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.






31. Modulars are ________ from one another






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

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






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






36. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






44. 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.






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






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






47. 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.






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






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






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