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






3. 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.

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






13. 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.






14. 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.






15. 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.






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






17. The creation (write) of the code.






18. Where the statements for the module are coded.






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






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






21. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






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






23. 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






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






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






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






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






28. Break system into manageable units or modules.






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






30. Local variables have _______ kind of scope






31. Breaking things into modules.






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






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






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






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






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






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






38. 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.






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






40. _____ error happens when the type and number of parameters does not match?






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






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






43. Modules can be called anywhere in the program - but must be done after their ______.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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