Ucertify Programming and Logic Review

Mario has begun learning a programming language. He thought that he would write the code in plain English. However, programming languages require that he learn and follow a special set of rules referred to as:

• syntax.

• machine language.

• assembly.

• executing.

Computers organize the zeros and ones that represent an instruction into a series of eight pieces. This series of eight ones or zeros is known as:

• data.

• byte.

• code.

• a bit.

Consider the following code:

turnRight ();

for (var count = 0; count < 5; count++) {

  moveForward ();

}

• assembly language.

• programming language.

• computer language.

• machine langugage.

Basic mathematics taught in elementary school is a base 10 number system (which makes it easy if you are using your fingers). Computers use a different number system, known as:

• base 2

• base 1

• base 8

• base 6

Sylvia creates a program that asks and stores a user's name. It then displays the user's name every time there is a new prompt for the user to complete. What is used to store the name in the computer's memory that the computer can access and manipulate, when running Sylvia's program?
