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






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






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






4. Modules are defined in the ______ part of a program - under the constant.






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






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






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






8. The order of operations of the boolean operators from first to last is: NOT - AND - _____






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






10. 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.






11. 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.






12. Where the statements for the module are coded.






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






14. True and False are the two _____ constants






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






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






17. Some logical operators in Pascal are: OR - AND - ___ - NOT - NAND - NOR






18. A logical circuit which is used to add two binary digits.






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






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. This is where the module is invoked or called.






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






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






24. A ______ operand cannot be applied to an AND boolean operator






25. The creation (write) of the code.






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






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






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






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






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






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






32. Modulars are ________ from one another






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






34. The stucture of a procedure: Heading - ______ - Statement






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






36. 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.






37. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






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






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






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






41. 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.






42. <> is the symbol for ___ equal to






43. Breaking things into modules.






44. 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).






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






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






47. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






48. Break system into manageable units or modules.






49. ________ design is the key to the ability to create large systems.






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