High Level Language (HLL)

Question 1

High Level Language (HLL)

Answer 1

Is removed from what the machine’s instructions are and is more English-like. Usually, one statement will translate into anywhere from 4-50 instructions!

Question 2

Hardware

Answer 2

any physical component involved with the computer’s operation.

Question 3

Software

Answer 3

the programs that are expected of a computer

Question 4

operating system

Answer 4

a very large and complex program that allows users of the computer to execute commands, or application software, on the computer

Question 5

CPU (Central Processing Unit)

Answer 5

where the computer executes its instructions; operations like addition and multiplication are done here along with comparisons like >, <, and equality

Question 6

peripheral device

Answer 6

externally connected to the computer, it can perform the desired I/O operations from the computer

Question 7

I/O(input/output)

Answer 7

information that goes into the software

Question 8

primary memory

Answer 8

directly accessible by the CPU, it is for short term storage and it is where your programs will reside while executing.

Question 9

bit(binary digit)

Answer 9

this is either a 0 or 1. All information in the computer is stored as some number of bits

Question 10

byte

Answer 10

an 8 bit quantity

Question 11

K

Answer 11

1024 * 1024.

Question 12

G

Answer 12

2 to the 30th power.

Question 13

T

Answer 13

2 to the 40th power.

Question 14

files

Answer 14

the names entities on the computer, each of which holds all the relevant information concerning one particular topic. stored on a secondary memory device

Question 15

Secondary Memory

Answer 15

used for long term storage; hard drives, CDs, flash drives, etc. can hold the desired information for retrieval at a later time.

Question 16

machine language

Answer 16

the strings of 0’s and 1’s that the computer can understand which represent the instructions it can execute.

Question 17

assembly language

Answer 17

a low level language that is understandable by humans;

Question 18

Answer 18

Is removed from what the machine’s instructions are and is more English-like. Usually, one statement will translate into anywhere from 4-50 instructions!

Question 19

(BASIC)Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code

Answer 19

Question 20

Syntax

Answer 20

a rigid set of rules specifying which entities are valid or invalid

Question 20

Semantics

Answer 20

what is the meaning of something, in our case, a HILL statement, what actions does the computer do when it executes a statement.

Question 20

Compiler

Answer 20

this is another very complex program that will translate your program that is written in a HILL, into a machine language that the computer can understand, or the interpreted Java bytecode that will run on any computer that has a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that understands and executes said bytecode.
