Q

Interpreter

A

A program that converts high-level instructions into a language that the computer can understand; unlike a compiler; an interpreter converts a program’s instructions, line by line, as the program is running

Q

Mnemonics

A

The alphabetic abbreviations used to represent instructions in assembly languages

Q

Object-oriented program

A

A program designed by focusing on the objects that the program could use to accomplish its goal

17
Q

Procedure-oriented program

A

A program designed by focusing on the individual tasks to be performed

18
Q

Programmers

A

The people who write computer programs

19
Q

Programming

A

Giving a mechanism the directions to accomplish a task

20
Q

Programming languages

A

Languages used to communicate with a computer

21
Q

Programs

A

The directions given to computers; also called computer programs

22
Q

Repetition structure

A

The control structure that directs the computer to repeat one or more instructions until some condition is met, at which time the computer should stop repeating the instructions; also called a loop or iteration

23
Q

Selection structure

A

The control structure that directs the computer to make a decision and then take the appropriate action based on that decision; also called the decision structure

24
Q

Sequence structure

A

The control structure that directs the computer to process each instruction in the order listed in the program
