Computing Quiz

What is a syntax error?

• A mistake in an algorithm or program that causes it to behave unexpectedly or return the incorrect value.

• A mistake in typed code that violates the rules of the programming language.

• A mistake in a program that happens only when the program is actually run.

• Error that results when the number of bits is not enough to represent the number.

What is a logic error?

• A mistake in an algorithm or program that causes it to behave unexpectedly or return the incorrect value.

• A mistake in typed code that violates the rules of the programming language.

• A mistake in a program that happens only when the program is actually run.

• Error that results when the number of bits is not enough to represent the number.

What is a run-time error?

• A mistake in an algorithm or program that causes it to behave unexpectedly or return the incorrect value.

• A mistake in typed code that violates the rules of the programming language.

• A mistake in a program that happens only when the program is actually run.

What is an overflow error?

• A mistake in an algorithm or program that causes it to behave unexpectedly or return the incorrect value.

• A mistake in typed code that violates the rules of the programming language.

• A mistake in a program that happens only when the program is actually run.

What is a bit?

• A binary digit, either 0 or 1.

• A sequence of 8 bits.

• Error that results when the number of bits is not enough to represent the number.

• Values that change smoothly, rather than in discrete intervals, over time.

What is a byte?

• A binary digit, either 0 or 1.

• A sequence of 8 bits.

• Error that results when the number of bits is not enough to represent the number.

• Values that change smoothly, rather than in discrete intervals, over time.

What is roundoff?

• A binary digit, either 0 or 1.

• A sequence of 8 bits.

• Error that results when the number of bits is not enough to represent the number.

• Error that results when the number of bits is not enough to represent the number with full precision.

What is analog data?

• A binary digit, either 0 or 1.

• A sequence of 8 bits.

• Values that change smoothly, rather than in discrete intervals, over time.

• Compressing data in a way that preserves all data away and allows full recovery of the original.

What is lossless?

• A binary digit, either 0 or 1.

• A sequence of 8 bits.

• Compressing data in a way that preserves all data away and allows full recovery of the original.

• Compressing data in a way that discards some data and makes it impossible to recover the original.

What is metadata?

• A binary digit, either 0 or 1.

• A sequence of 8 bits.

• Data about data, like descriptive information about a file or a row in a database.

• Compressing data in a way that discards some data and makes it impossible to recover the original.
