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.

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






23. 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.






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






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






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