Introduction to Computer Programming

__________________ language is written in 0s and 1s and can be directly understood by the computer.

__________________ language is the easiest to understand, uses words similar to human language, and is widely used by programmers today.

__________________ language uses simple words or mnemonics like "ADD" or "SUB" to make it easier for humans to write instructions.

(a)   refers to giving instructions to a computer to accomplish a specific task.

A (a)   is the person who writes the instructions or code for a computer to follow.

A __________________ is a special language that programmers use to communicate with the computer.

The (a)   is where the programmer writes the code in a high-level programming language like C++.

The (a)   translates the source code into an intermediate object code, which is closer to machine code but still not executable.

After the compiler, the (a)   converts the object code into machine code, which is a series of 0s and 1s the computer can directly understand.

Once the code is in (a)   , the computer can execute it and perform the task the programmer intended.
