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.

11. Breaking things into modules.






12. 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






13. 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.






14. 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.

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






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






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






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






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






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






23. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






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

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






31. Loops that never end because the stopping/exit condition is never met.






32. They can both receive and return values.






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






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






35. The three logical flows that govern a structured program are: Sequence - ______ - and Repetition.






36. 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).






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






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

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






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






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






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






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






48. 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.






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






50. A special kind of variable used in a subroutine to refer to one of the pieces of data provided as input to the subroutine. Values can be passed from outside the procedure.
