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.

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






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






24. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






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






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






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






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






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






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






31. 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.






32. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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