Q AND A

1.) A list of instructions written in a special code, or language.

2.) The program tells the computer which operations to perform, and in what sequence to perform
them.
3.) Meaning of (G.I.G.O.).
4.) Two Skills in learning to write a program.
5.) Refers to programs that make the computer perform some task.
6.) Is a set of instructions that tells the computer what to do?
7.) A microprocessor is designed to understand a set of commands called
8.) All instructions must be provided to the CPU in its native language, called
9.) All data transmission, manipulation, storage, and retrieval is done by the machine using
electrical pulses representing sequences of binary digits.
10.) If eight-digit binary codes are used, there are 256 numbered instructions from 00000000 to
11111111.
11.) Instructions written in this form 00000000 to 11111111 are referred to as Machine Language.
12.) It is the native language that the CPU speaks and understands.
13.) Special languages have been developed that are more easily understood (than machine
language). These special languages are called.
14.) Programming languages have their own vocabulary and rules of usage.
15.) The programming language that is most like machine language is.
16.) Assembly language uses Letters and numbers to represent machine language instructions.
17.) Is a program that reads the codes the programmer writes in assembly language and assembles
a machine language program based on those codes?
18.) Machine Language and Assembly Language are both called Low-Level Languages.
19.) Machine Language and Assembly Language are both called.
20.) In a low-level language, it is necessary for the programmer to know the instruction set of the
CPU in order to program the computer.
21.) Is any programming language that uses words and symbols to make it relatively easy to read and
write a computer program?
22.) A High-Level Language is any programming language that uses words and symbols to make it
relatively easy to read and write a computer program.
23.) Each instruction in a low-level language corresponds to one or only a few microprocessor
instructions.
24.) One command in a high-level language may correspond to many microprocessor instructions.
25.) Instructions can be written to enable the computer to do anything that the hardware will follow.
26.) Programmers writing in a high-level language enter the programs instructions into a Text Editor.
27.) The files saved in this format are called.
28.) A program written in a high-level language is called Source code.
29.) The programs are translated into machine language by interpreters or compilers.
30.) The resulting machine language code is known as Object Code.
31.) Interpreter is a program that translates the source code of a high-level language into machine
language.
32.) In order to run the program, the interpreter must be loaded into the computers memory.
33.) Compiler is another program that translates a high-level language into machine language.
34.) The source code is translated into a file called an object file.
35.) A program called a Linker is used to create an executable program.
36.) IDE =??
37.) An error in coding or logic that causes a program to malfunction or to produce incorrect results.
38.) Debug - To detect, locate, and correct logical or syntactical errors in a program.
39.) Folklore attributes the first use of the term bug to a problem in one of the first electronic
computers that was traced to a moth caught between the contacts of a relay in the machine.
40.) COBOL =??
41.) FORTRAN=??
42.) BASIC=??
43.) Pascal (named for Blaise Pascal)
44.) Ada (named for Ada Lovelace)
45.) C (developed by the designer of B)
46.) Visual Basic (Basic-like visual language developed by Microsoft)
47.) Delphi (Pascal-like visual language developed by Borland)
48.) C++ (an object-oriented language, based on C)
49.) C# (a Java-like language developed by Microsoft)
50.) FORTRAN Is a computer language that is especially good for scientific work.It makes writing
equations easy.
51.) COBOL has been used for a long time for business programs and main frame programs. It has a
structure that is similar to English, which makes it easier for non-technical people.
52.) C and C++ are languages that are widely used for programs.
53.) BASIC started as a language used to learn how to program but proved to be useful for actual
programs, too. There are many versions of BASIC for working with specific software, like Word
Visual Basic for writing macros for Microsoft Word.
54.) Java is a language that is used for large programs and small web applets. It is not the same as
Javascript, which is used in web pages
55.) Algorithm a finite sequence of effective statements that when applied to the problem, will solve
it.
56.) Effective Statement a clear unambiguous instruction that can be carried out.
57.) Algorithms should have specific beginning and ending that is reached in a reasonable amount of
time (a finite amount of time).
58.) 7 step of good programming habits. (HINT:) ASDDCTI
59.) Executable Statement is a basic unit of grammar.
60.) Semicolon terminates a statement in many programming languages.
61.) Test Programs are short programs written to provide an answer to a specific question.
62.) Console refers to text entry and display device of a computer.
63.) A Source Program is compiled into a machine-language file, which is then linked with the system
library to form an executable file.
