A computer program is best described as:

• A physical component of a computer

• A list of instructions that tells the computer what to do

• A hardware device

• A database of commands

Which of the following is an example of a programming language?

• HTML

• XML

• PASCAL

• HTTP

Which type of language is composed entirely of 0s and 1s?

• Assembly language

• Machine language

• High-level language

• Natural language

Machine languages are considered:

• High-level and human-readable

• Used only for web programming

• Easier to write than Python

• The “native” language of a computer

Assembly language uses:

• Natural English phrases

• Binary codes only

• Symbolic representations of instructions

• None of the above

Before execution, assembly language must be:

• Translated into machine codes

• Directly interpreted by the CPU

• Compiled into Java bytecode

• Converted to HTML

High-level programming languages are designed to be:

• Readable by machines only

• Similar to human languages

• Based on symbolic codes

• Written in binary format

High-level languages need to be:

• Directly executed by the CPU

• Compiled into machine codes

• Written in hexadecimal

• Translated into assembly manually

Which of the following is not a category of programming language mentioned?

• Machine language

• Low-level assembly language

• High-level procedural language

• Database query language

The main step toward easier programming after machine code was:

• High-level languages

• Assembly languages

• Object databases

• HTML coding
