C++ Programming Chapter 1
All logical errors, such as division by 0, are reported by the compiler.
False
All programs muse be loaded into the CPU before the can be executed and all data must be loaded into main memory before it can be manipulated.
False
Analog signals represent information with a sequence of 0s and 1s.
False
In ASCII, (A) is the 65th character.
False
Main memory is an ordered sequence of cells and each cell has a random location in main memory.
False
One GB is 2^20MB.
False
In a C++ program, preprocessor directives begin with which symbol?
#
Which program loads the executable code from the main memory into the CPU for execution?
Loader
Describe the steps required by the problem-solving process.
1. Analyze and outline the problem and its solution requirements, and design an algorithm to solve the problem. 2. Implement the algorithm in a programming language, such as C++, and verify that the algorithm works. 3. Maintain the program by using and modifying it if the problem domain changes
Describe the steps required in the analysis phase of programming.
1. Thoroughly understand the problem. 2. Understand the problem requirements. 3. If problem is complex divide the problem into smaller subproblems and repeat steps 1 and 2.
What is programming?
A process of problem solving.
What is an algorithm?
A set of well-defined logical steps that must be taken to perform a task.
Which number system is used by a computer?
Binary or base 2
Which hardware component performs arithmetic and logical operations?
CPU
In a C++ program, which program processes statements that begin with the symbol #?
Preprocessor directives
What is an object program?
The machine language version of the high-level language program.
A binary code is a sequence of 0s and 1s.
True
A compiler translates the source program into an object program.
True
A sequence of eight bits is called a byte.
True
An assembler translates the assembly language into machine language.
True
An object consists of data and operations on that data.
True
An object program is the machine language version of a high-level language program.
True
ISO stands for International Organization of standardization.
True
In a C++ program, statements that begin with # are called preprocessor directives.
True
In object-oriented design (OOD), a program is a collection of interacting objects.
True
The calculating device called the Pascaline could calculate sums up to eight figures long.
True
The machine language is a sequence of 0s and 1s.
True
The number system used by a computer is base 2.
True
The program that loads first when you turn on your computer is called the operating system.
True
What is linking?
When a program, a linker, combines the object program with other programs in the library and is used in the program to create the executable code.
