A COMPILER is a program that translates a high-level language program into a separate machine language program. An INTERPRETER is a program that both translates and executes the instructions in a high-level language program What type of software controls the internal operations of the computer’s hardware? An operating system controls the internal operations of the computer’s hardware Unit 1 Research Assignment 1 Algol (ALGOrithmic Language): 1960, Defined by an international consortium. Algol was the first language to be machine independence. It has many of the common language features, such as If-Then-Else, For and While loops, Switch with gotos, begin and end markers, local variables, etc.
Semester 1 MIT101 – Fundamentals of IT & Programming– 2 Credits Assignment Question 1 - Give the classification of computers and explain them briefly ? Ans:- Computers are classified according to their data processing speed, amount of data that they can hold and price. Generally, a computer with high processing speed and large internal storage is called a big computer. Due to rapidly improving technology, we are always confused among the categories of computers. Depending upon their speed and memory size, computers are classified into following four main groups.
The operating system is an essential component of the system software in a computer system. 3) C.P.U-(central processing unit) is the hardware within a computer that carries out the instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetical, logical, and input/output operations of the system. 4) KB-(kilobyte) is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. The SI prefix kilo- means 1000. 5) MB- (megabyte) is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information.
They are usually located in a LAN like a home or on the internet. Lab 2.1 Review 1. A network device is equipment used to connect two or more computers together, such as a router, network cable, and network cards. A peripheral device is any external device on a computer such as a mouse, keyboard, or a monitor. 2.
