Making/Algorithm Assesment

What is a computer processor?

• A computer processor is a type of software that manages files.
• The face of the micro:bit.

• A component of the computer that process and transforms information.

• A part of the computer that stores its memory.

What is the difference between RAM and storage (hard drive) memory?

• RAM is the computers short term memory and storage is the computers long term memory.

• Storage is used for running applications, while RAM is used for saving files.
• RAM is permanent and slower memory, while storage is temporary and fast memory.
• RAM and storage serve the same purpose in a computer system.

• Data stored in a database
• How the computer receives information.

• How the computer relays information.

What is an algorithm?

• A recipe for cooking a meal.
• A set of instructions for a computer to follow.

• A random guess about a problem.
• A collection of data without any steps.

How does a function work?

• How we code the micro:bit.

• An input event sends a signal to the processor which processes the information and then sends it through an output even.

• How a computer saves a program.

• When the computer transfers information between RAM and storage.

What is an event in programming?

• An action recognized by a computer, which is usually generated by a user or the system.

• An event is when the computer turns on.

• An event is when a computer completes a task.

• An event is the micro:bit.

What is an example of an input event?

• When the micro:bit LED lights light up

• Scrolling through a page
• Hovering over an image
• Pushing the A or B buttons on the micro:bit

What is an example of how output works?

• When a printer prints out a paper

• Coding a micro:bit

• A computer program

• Using a keyboard
