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.

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






14. 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.






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






16. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






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






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






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






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






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






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






23. 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.






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






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






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

28. Where the statements for the module are coded.






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






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






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






32. A _______ statement involves Decision making with two conditions (true or false). No semicolon after 'else.

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






39. 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).






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






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






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






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






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. 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.
