Programming Concepts and Software Tools

The video tutorial explains the need for and functions of system software, focusing on utility programs, translators, and libraries. Utility software includes antivirus, disk defragmentation, compression, file managers, firewalls, and backup utilities. Translators, such as interpreters, compilers, and assemblers, convert source code into machine code. Libraries provide pre-written code for common tasks, enhancing programming efficiency.

What is the primary purpose of utility software?

• To maintain and optimize computer systems

• To entertain users

• To manage network connections

• To create new software applications

Which of the following is NOT an example of utility software?

• Web browser

• File manager

• Disk defragmentation

• Antivirus software

How does disk defragmentation software improve computer performance?

• By upgrading hardware components

• By increasing internet speed

• By consolidating fragmented files

• By deleting unnecessary files

What is the role of a firewall in a computer system?

• To prevent unauthorized access

• To enhance graphics performance

• To speed up data processing

• To manage file storage

What is the function of a translator in programming?

• To manage network traffic

• To compile data into reports

• To translate documents into different languages

• To convert source code into machine code

Which type of translator converts high-level language into machine code line by line?

• Assembler

• Compiler

• Interpreter

• Debugger

What is a key advantage of using a compiler over an interpreter?

• Requires less memory

• Immediate error detection

• Easier debugging process

• Faster execution of the compiled code

What is the main benefit of using libraries in programming?

• To enhance the security of the code

• To increase the speed of the program

• To reuse pre-written code for common tasks

• To reduce the size of the code

How are libraries typically included in a Python program?

• Using the 'require' keyword

• Using the 'include' keyword

• Using the 'attach' keyword

• Using the 'import' keyword

Which of the following is NOT a typical category for libraries?

• Math functions

• Date manipulation

• Graphical tasks

• Operating system management
