Programming Logic And Design

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.

16. A statement that provides a data type and an identifier for a variable.






17. A literal numeric or string value.






18. The memory address identifier to left of an assignment operator.






19. Describes the process of naming variables and assigning data type to them.






20. The feature of modular programs that assures you a module has been tested and proven to function correctly.






21. Include steps you must perform at the beginning of a program to get ready for the rest of the program.

30. A diagram that illustrated modules relationships to each other.






31. A specific numeric value.






32. Contains all the statements in the module.


33. The snarled - unstructured program logic.






34. 1) understand the problem. 2) Plan the logic. 3) Code the program. 4)Use software to translate the program into machine language. 5) Test the program. 6) Put the program into production. 7) Maintain the program.
