What is the primary purpose of assembly language?

• To create high-level programming languages.

• To directly execute programs without compilation.

• The primary purpose of assembly language is to provide a human-readable representation of machine code for programming and controlling computer hardware.

• To simplify the use of graphical user interfaces.

Which of the following is an example of an assembly language instruction?

• PRINT

• IF

• MOV

• FOR

An assembler is a software tool that:

• compiles high-level code into assembly language

• optimizes machine code for performance

• translates assembly language into machine code

• debugs machine code for errors

An algorithm is a:

• A step-by-step procedure for solving a problem.

• A method for storing information

• A type of programming language

• A random collection of data

Which of the following is a simple algorithm?

• Finding the median in a dataset

• Sorting a list of numbers

• Finding the maximum number in a list

• Calculating the average of a set of values

Why are algorithms important in computer science?

• Algorithms are crucial for problem-solving, efficiency, and data management in computer science.

• Algorithms are primarily for graphic design in computer science.

• Algorithms are only used for sorting data.

• Algorithms are irrelevant in modern programming languages.

Pseudocode is used to:

• Describe an algorithm in a human-readable format

• Write actual code

• Create flowcharts

• Debug programs

Which of the following is a common pseudocode keyword?

• PRINT

• IF

• FOR

• All of the above.

A compiler translates:

• High-level code into machine code

• Assembly code into machine code

• Machine code into assembly code

An interpreter:

• Executes machine code directly

• Converts assembly code into machine code

• Creates executable files

• Translates and executes code line by line
