MODULE 2 - Introduction to Computer Programming

Question 1

First Generation Language (1GL)

Answer 1

Machine Languages that span from 1940 - 1956. Directly understood by computers, Uses processor instruction, Processor-dependent and It’s in binary form

Question 2

Second Generation Language (2GL)

Answer 2

Assembly Language that span from 1956 - 1963. Processor-dependent, uses mnemonic codes to represent binary and Easier to remember and read

Question 3

Third Generation Language (3GL)

Answer 3

High-Level Languages that span from 1964 - 1971. Processor Independent, Uses variables with sequences and includes branches and loops.

Question 4

Fourth Generation Language (4GL)

Answer 4

Declarative Languages or Very High-Level Languages that spans from 1971-present days. Processor independent, Uses form filling, Computer-aided graphics and Screen Instruction.

Question 5

Fifth Generation Language (5GL)

Answer 5

Artificial Intelligence that spans from presents days to beyond. Processor dependent, Uses AI techniques, Computer draws inferences from code.

Question 6

World’s first computer programmer

Answer 6

Augusta Ada Byron. Babbage dubbed her “The Enchantress of Number”

Question 7

First Programming Language

Answer 7

Plankalkul (Plan Calculus) developed by Konrad Zuse

Question 8

Classification of Programming Language

Answer 8

Level, Paradigm, Compilation and by Purposes

Question 9

Classification by level - Machine Language

Answer 9

it is the language that machines can understand directly, as it uses only zeros and ones (binary)

Question 10

Classification by level - Low-level languages

Answer 10

they are languages which are very close to the way machines communicate, but do not reach binary.

Question 10

Classification by level - High-level languages

Answer 10

they are languages that are closer to the way people communicate.

Question 11

Classification by paradigm - Imperative languages

Answer 11

In this type of language, programmers specify the sequence of operations that the program must perform to solve the problem

Question 11

Classification by paradigm - Declarative languages

Answer 11

in this case, programmers specify a desired result and the language is responsible for getting what it takes to achieve it

Question 11

Classification by compilation - Interpreted languages

Answer 11

The interpreter reads a line, translates it and executes it

Question 12

Classification by compilation - Compiled languages

Answer 12

takes a complete work and translates it in its entirety

Question 13

Classification by purpose - General-purpose languages

Answer 13

designed to solve multiple problems

Question 13

Classification by purpose - Domain-specific languages

Answer 13

created for a specific thing and it doesn’t make sense to use them outside their scope.

Question 14

What is the meaning of INTJ

Answer 14

Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Judging like Bill Gates and Sir Isaac Newton

Question 14

What is the meaning of INTP

Answer 14

Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Perceiving like Albert Einstein
