ICT Programming and Logic Review

What statement is true regarding compiled and interpreted languages?

• Interpreted Languages usually execute faster than compiled languages.

• Both compiled and interpreted languages are translated entirely before use.

• Compiled languages are traslated in batches, where as interpreted languages are translated entirely before use.

• Compiled langauges usually execute faster than interpreted langauges.

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

• Syntax,

• Machine Language.

• Assembly

• Executing.

Syntax is...

• A particular set of written instructions or set of rules.

• Assembly of numbers.

• The process of writing code.

• How code is written.

When a computer is performing the instructions contained in a program, it is called:

• Assembling.

• Compiling.

• Debugging.

• Executing.

Elsa is programming a robot to move from her front door to her room. The robot will not be remote controlled and does not have any sensors to "see" its environment. She must program the robot with clear movements that start at her front door, then move down the hall, then turn into her room and finally stop. Which term describes this program?

• Sequential

• Compiled

• Aseembly

• Binary

How is structured programming similar to a recipe?

 

• The steps can be altered in any way without affecting the results.

• The steps may be performed in any order to produce the proper result.

• The steps must be repeated to produce the proper results.

• The steps must be performed in a certain order to produce the proper result.

Basic mathematics taugh 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 6

• Base 4

• Base 20

Which term describes a series of zeros and ones that represent the basic unit of data that a computer processes?

• Data

• Byte

• Switch

• Code

Olivia thinks that her first program code is quite good and that it will run well. She is surprised to learn that the computer, however, is not able to understand the language her code is written in, without first translating it. What is the only language that a computer can understand without needing to be translated?

• Machine Language

• Application Language

• High-Level Language

• Assembly Language

Veronica has written a computer program that locates records in a database. During testing, the program suddenly stops running. What is most likely causing the program to stop running?

• A syntax error

• A runtime error

• A logic error

• A database error
