Ernest Dalusong Introduction to programming Unit 1 Assignment 1: Homework
1. Why is the CPU the most important component in a computer?
- CPU is considered as the “brain” of the computer and it is where all the processes and computation were happening.
2. What number does a bit that is turned on represent? What number does a bit that it turned off represent?
- REPRESENT = 1 and OFF REPRESENT = 0
3. What would you call a device that works with binary data?
- DIGITAL DATA
4. What are the words that make up a high-level programming language called?
- KEY
5. What are the short words that are used in assembly language called?
- MNEMONICS
6. What is the difference between computer and an interpreter?
- COMPILER – takes all of the code and translates it into something a computer can understand.
- INTERPRETER - takes code and translates it line by line. It doesn't save the translated code in a file.
7. What type of software controls the internal operations of the computer’s hardware?
- SYSTEM SOFTWARE
