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.

2. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






3. 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.






4. The five types of operands allowed in Pascal are: Integer - Real - Boolean - _____ - Constant






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






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






7. 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.






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






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






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






11. Break system into manageable units or modules.






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






13. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






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






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






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






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






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






19. The creation (write) of the code.






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






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






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






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






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






25. 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.






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






27. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






28. Breaking things into modules.






29. <> is the symbol for ___ equal to






30. Modulars are ________ from one another






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






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






33. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






39. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






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






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






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






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






44. The three categories for a program structure are: ____ - Branching/Selection - Looping/Iteration






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






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






47. 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.






48. 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.






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






50. 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.
