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






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






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






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






5. 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).






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






7. 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.






8. 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.






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






10. They can both receive and return values.






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






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






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






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






15. 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.






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






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






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






19. <> is the symbol for ___ equal to






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






21. Parameters act like _____ variables within a module






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






23. The stucture of a procedure: Heading - ______ - Statement






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






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






26. Variable When a variable is declared under a procedure it is a _____ variable?






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






28. A parameter value that is used in a function call or in a message sent to an object.






29. The creation (write) of the code.






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






31. Used to trace the execution of an algorithm.






32. To test that the subprograms are integrated into the program correctly. That they interact with one another correctly - passing the required information to and from one another.






33. Boolean expressions can be simple or _______






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






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






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






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






38. 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






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






40. True and False are the two _____ constants






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






42. 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.






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






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






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






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






47. Where the statements for the module are coded.






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






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






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