The first wave was identified by mainframe computers, the second wave by personal computers, and the third wave by small computers embedded into many devices used daily—cellphones, cameras, watches, and so forth.

What are the three waves in computing?

The central processing unit (CPU) (bộ xử lý trung tâm) is the heart of a computer. It is divided into two components: - the arithmetic logic unit (ALU) bộ logic số học - thực hiện các phép toán số học và logic - and, the control unit đơn vị điều khiển. tells the computer what to do. Some computers have a single processor; other computers contain multiple processors - the use of two or more CPUs in a single computer system.

What are two main components of a CPU - central processing unit?

cloud storage

Computers and communication systems use data codes to represent and transfer data between computers and network systems. The most common data code is American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII),

data code

the main circuit board containing connectors for attaching additional boards. It usually contains the CPU, Basic Input / Output System (BIOS), memory, storage, interfaces, serial and parallel ports, expansion slots, and all the controllers for standard peripheral devices, such as the display monitor, disk drive, and keyboard.

False

Computers cannot store massive amounts of data in small spaces. False True

c. binary number Binary code—a set of instructions used to control the computer—uses 0s and 1s, which the computer understands as on or off signals.

Every character, number, or symbol on the keyboard is represented as a(n) _____ in computer memory. a. decimal number b. hexadecimal number c. binary number d. octal number

a. Assembly language Machine language, the first generation of computer languages, consists of a series of 0s and 1s representing data or instructions. It is dependent on the machine, so code written for one type of computer does not work on another type of computer. Assembly language, the second generation of computer languages, is a higher-level language than machine language but is also machine dependent. It uses a series of short codes, or mnemonics, to represent data or instructions. High-level languages are machine independent and part of the third generation of computer languages. Many languages are available, and each is designed for a specific purpose. Fourth-generation languages (4GLs) use macro codes that can take the place of several lines of programming. The commands are powerful and easy to learn, even for people with little computer training. Fifth-generation languages (5GLs) use some of the artificial intelligence technologies, such as knowledge-based systems, natural language processing (NLP), visual programming, and a graphical approach to programming. These languages are designed to facilitate natural conversations between you and the computer.

One of the following is one of the characteristics of the second generation of computer languages? a. Assembly language b. Machine language c. Fourth-generation language d. Natural language processing
