Introduction to computer programming

Identify the type of computer that need high processing power to execute billions of instructions within a second in fields like nuclear weapon simulation.

• Server

• Mainframe

• Supercomputer

• Embedded computer

Select the correct statement of programming.

• A collection of software.

• A set of problems to do specific tasks.

• Act of designing and writing a computer program.

• To translates assembly language into machine code.

Which of the following is the advantage of mainframe computers over microcomputers? 

• Mainframe computers are less expensive than microcomputers.

• Mainframe computers have great portability compared to microcomputers.

• Processing speed of mainframe computers are faster than microcomputers. 

• Mainframe computers have smaller storage capacity and compact in size which make it more popular used in homes, offices, shops, and schools.

From the following statements, identify the correct statement of machine language.

• A language that uses short words such as ‘MOV’, ‘ADD’ and ‘PUSH’.

• A language that has thousands or even millions of binary instructions.

• A language that is also called as high-level language which have been designed to develop machines that behave like humans.

• A language that enables development of a program in a much more user-friendly programming context and is generally independent of the computer's hardware architecture.

Listed below are steps involved in program development life cycle (PDLC), identify the last step of PDLC.

• Coding

• Design

• Maintenance

• Implementation
