Abstraction in Computing Quiz

What is the main purpose of abstraction in computing?

• To reduce the amount of data a program needs to process

• To hide complex details and show only the necessary features

• To increase the speed of a computer

• To create more complex software systems

Which of the following is an example of abstraction in computing?

• Writing machine code directly

• Using a high-level programming language like Python

• Debugging the hardware of a computer

• Designing the structure of a hard drive

What part of a computer system does abstraction primarily interact with?

• User interface

• Hardware details

• Internet connection

• Application updates

Which of the following is a benefit of abstraction?

• It makes programs harder to use

• It simplifies the development process

• It increases the memory usage of programs

• It decreases the program’s speed

In object-oriented programming, abstraction is achieved through:

• Inheritance

• Polymorphism

• Interfaces and classes

• Variables and functions

Which of the following is NOT an example of abstraction?

• Using a smartphone without knowing how the operating system works

• Writing a program that directly controls a computer's CPU

• Using a database query to retrieve data without knowing how the database is structured

• Using a text editor without worrying about the underlying code

Why is abstraction important for software developers?

• It reduces the need for code optimization

• It hides unnecessary details, allowing them to focus on essential parts of the program

• It eliminates the need for testing

• It simplifies the user interface design process

Which of the following is an example of abstraction in operating systems?

• Directly manipulating the hard drive's storage sectors

• Using a file explorer to manage files and folders

• Writing machine code to run programs

• Configuring network hardware manually

Abstraction allows programmers to write code without needing to:

• Understand user needs

• Know the exact hardware implementation

• Write secure programs

• Test their code

In programming, which concept allows you to call a function without needing to know how the function is implemented?

• Encapsulation

• Inheritance

• Abstraction

• Overloading
