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.

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






25. 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.






26. 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).
