Transcription

1 The basic commands that a computer performs are, and performance of arithmetic and logical operations. input, file Question 2 input, output, storage output, folder storage, directory Main memory is called. Question 3 random access memory random read only memory read and write memory read only memory The is the brain of the computer and the single most expensive piece of hardware in your personal computer. MM CPU ROM RAM

2 Question 4 The carries out all arithmetic and logical operations. IR PC ALU CU Question 5 The holds the instruction currently being executed. CU IR ALU PC Question 6 Main memory is an ordered sequence of items, called. pixels addresses memory cells registers

3 Question 7 The devices that feed data and programs into computers are called devices. input secondary output entry Question 8 The devices that the computer uses to display results are called devices. entry output input exit Question 9 When the power is switched off, everything in is lost. main memory hard disks secondary storage floppy disks

4 Question 10 programs perform a specific task. Operating Application System Service Question 11 The monitors the overall activity of the computer and provides services. arithmetic logic unit operating system Central Processing Unit control unit Question 12 Which of the following is NOT an output device? monitor printer CPU secondary storage

5 Question 13 represent information with a sequence of 0s and 1s. Digital signals Analog signals System programs Application programs Question 14 A sequence of eight bits is called a. double character byte binary digit Question 15 The digit 0 or 1 is called a binary digit, or. hexcode Unicode bit bytecode

6 Question 16 The term GB refers to. Question 17 gigabyte giant byte group byte great byte A program called a(n) translates instructions written in high-level languages into machine code. decoder assembler linker compiler Question 18 A program called a(n) combines the object program with the programs from libraries. assembler compiler decoder linker

7 Question 19 Consider the following C++ program. #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { cout << "Hello World " return 0; } In the cout statement, the missing semicolon in the code above will be caught by the. editor assembler compiler control unit Question 20 A program that loads an executable program into main memory is called a(n). linker loader compiler assembler Question 21 A step-by-step problem-solving process in which a solution is arrived at in a finite amount of

8 time is called a(n). design linker algorithm analysis Question 22 To develop a program to solve a problem, you start by. analyzing the problem designing the algorithm implementing the solution in C++ entering the solution into a computer system Question 23 Dividing a problem into smaller subproblems is called design. OOD analog top-down refinement Question 24 structured

9 A(n) consists of data and the operations on those data. compiler disk interpreter Question 25 object In C++, the mechanism that allows you to combine data and operations on the data into a single unit is called a(n). algorithm object function class Question 26 The programming language C++ evolved from. BASIC assembly C+ C Saturday, March 15, :30:08 AM EDT
