1. Why is the CPU the most important component in a computer? Without the CPU the computer could not run any software.
2. What number does a bit that is turned on represent? A bit turned on represent 1. What number does a bit that is turned off represent? A bit that is off represent 0.
3. What would you call a device that works with binary data? A digital device.
4. What are the words that make up a high-level programming language called? Key words or reserved words.
5. What are the short words that are used in assembly language called? Mnemonics.
6. What Is the different between a compiler and an interpreter? Interpreter is a program that both translate and execute the instructions in high-level language program. Where as, Compiler is used to translate the high-level language program to a machine language program.
7. What type of software control the internal operations of the computer’s hardware? Operating System.
Exploring Programming Languages
The 1970s was a very outstanding year for programming languages. The five most popular languages of the decade where Ada, Pascal, C, Smalltalk, and bliss. The creators of the languages are as follow: Ada-Jean Ichbiah at Alsys in the 1970s primarily for applications used by the U.S. department of Defense. The program is named in honor of countess Ada Lovelace, an influential and historical figure in the field of computing. Pascal-Niklaus Wirth and Kathleen Jensen in the 1970s and was originally designed for teaching programming. C-Dennis Ritchie in 1972 at Bell Laboratories, which is a very powerful and yet general purpose language. Smalltalk-Daniel Henry Holmes Ingalls, Jr. it was created in 1972 as the language to underpin the new world of computing and in part for education. BLISS-W.A. Wulf and D.B. Russell back in 1970 at
