Define what an algorithm is in programming.

• An algorithm is a programming language used to write code.

• An algorithm is a graphical representation of data.

• An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem or performing a task in programming.

• An algorithm is a type of software application.

What is the difference between a compiler and an interpreter?

• A compiler executes the program while an interpreter translates it all at once.

• A compiler translates the whole program at once, while an interpreter translates and executes it line-by-line.

• A compiler and an interpreter both translate code in the same way, just at different speeds.

• An interpreter translates the whole program at once, while a compiler executes it line-by-line.

Explain the concept of a variable in programming.

• A variable is a fixed value that cannot be changed once set.

• A variable is a type of function that performs calculations.

• A variable is a graphical representation of data in programming.

• A variable is a named storage location in programming that holds a value, which can be changed during execution.

What is the role of a database in software applications?

• To execute application logic and algorithms.

• To provide user interface design for applications.

• To handle network communications between clients and servers.

• The role of a database in software applications is to store and manage data efficiently.

What is the function of a router in a computer network?

• The function of a router in a computer network is to direct data packets between different networks.

• To provide a physical connection between devices.

• To store data packets for later use.
