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. All modules must be _____ and they can call other modules.






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






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






10. 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.

15. 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).






16. 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.

18. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






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

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






22. 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.






23. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






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






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






26. Breaking things into modules.






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






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

40. 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.






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






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






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

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






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