Unicode

The ________ is an extensive encoding scheme that is compatible with ASCII and can represent the characters of all the languages in the world.

CPU

The ________ is the most important component in a computer because without it, the computer could not run software.

instruction set

The entire set of instructions that a central processing unit can execute is known as the ________.

RAM

The main memory is called ________ because the CPU is able to quickly access data stored at any random location.

bit

The smallest storage location in a computer's memory is known as a ________.

bit

The term ________ stands for a binary digit.

syntax

The term used for a set of rules that must be strictly followed when writing a program is ________.

input

To determine a program's ________ requirements, you must determine the pieces of data required for the program to complete its task.

True

True/False: A computer is not a single device, but a system of devices that work together to manipulate data according to the instructions provided.

True

True/False: A variable is a storage location in memory that is represented by a name and can hold different values during the execution of the program.

False

True/False: Computers are designed to do just one job.

TRUE

True/False: Each instruction written in a high-level programming language is called a statement.

False

True/False: Most programs written in a high-level language need to be translated into machine language.

False

True/False: Programmers start writing code as the first step when they begin a new project.

False

True/False: Programs that use an interpreter generally execute faster than compiled programs because they are already entirely translated into machine language when executed.

True

True/False: RAM is a volatile memory used for temporary storage while a program is running.

True

True/False: The CPU understands instructions in machine language, which are written in binary.

True

True/False: The instruction set for a microprocessor is unique and is typically understood only by the microprocessors of the same brand.

True

True/False: The main reason for using secondary storage is to hold data for long periods of time, even when the power to the computer is turned off.

Translate Execute

What function(s) does an interpreter perform with the instructions in a high-level programming language?

Assembly
