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.

7. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






8. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






9. 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.






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






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






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

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






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






16. 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.






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






18. 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.






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






20. _______ design starts with high level idea of a solution and successively refine it. It favors hierarchial organization.






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






22. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






28. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






29. The creation (write) of the code.






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






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






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






33. 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.






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






35. 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.






36. 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






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






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






39. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






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






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






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






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






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






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






46. 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).






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






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






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






50. 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.
