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

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






5. 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.






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

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






10. 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






11. 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.






12. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






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






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






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






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






17. 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.






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






19. 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.






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






21. 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 testing of the complete program to determine the overall system functions.






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






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

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






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






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






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






43. They can both receive and return values.






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






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