Rules of Pascal
A pascal program always starts with what reserved word?
What is "Program"
This is a program that translates program from assembly language to machine language.
What is "Assemblers"
The step of programming implementation concerned with running a program to see the results
What is "Executing"
This is the process of manually going through the program looking for errors.
What is "Dry Run"
These are special names created by the programmer for:
Name of the program
Constants used in the program
Variables used in the program
What are ''Identifiers''
What key word is used to introduce variables?
What is ''VAR"
Programming languages that use words and symbols that are close to the language the computer understands.
What is ''low level language"
This stage involves making any modifications that may need to be made to a developed program to make it suitable for a particular situation.
What is "Maintenance"
Errors that occur when the program has to terminate before its completion.
What is "Run-time Errors"
What must an identifier begin with?
What is " a letter of the alphabet"
What punctuation mark is used after each statement in the program?
What is "semi-colon"
What are the three main types of translators
What are
"assemblers, interpreters and compilers"
The first stage of programming implementation that is written in a form understandable to humans, written in Assembly level language or high level language.
What is " Creating sourcecode"
This is the process of looking for errors, locating them and correcting them.
What is "Debugging"
These are words that have special meaning in the programming language and cannot be used as identifier names.
What are "reserved words"
What must be used to end a pascal program?
What is "End."
List two examples of a third generation language
What is " BASIC, Pascal, FORTRON or C. "
This is the process of converting source code into object code by taking instructions as a whole
What is "Compiling"
This is using values in a program to determine if it produces the required results
What is "Testing"
List the basic data types for variable and constant declaration
What is
"Integer ,Real , Char , Boolean, String"
After declaring all the variables which are required to be used later in the program, the main program always starts with what reserved word
Two advantages of high level language over low level language
What is
1.Create program faster
2. Are machine independent, making them portable
3. Creates programs cheaper.
4. Make it easier to avoid and detect errors
This is the process of combining together individual object code files to form a single executable program
What is "Linking"
Errors reported by translators when the rules of a particular programming language are not correctly followed.
What is ''Syntax errors''
What are the three (3) distinct parts of a pascal program
What is
1.Program heading
2. Program block
3. Program terminator
