Name ______ _________________________________________ Date _9/5/2012_______ Chapter 1 Reading Organizer 1. List and explain the three things that have to work together in order for most computers to perform useful functions. Hardware – External and internal physical components App Software – Programs that are loaded onto computers to perform specific functions Operating System – Computer programs that manage the hardware of a computer 2. List and explain the two general categories of application software. Business/industry software – software that is designed for use by a specific industry such as medical practice management tools, educational tools, or tools designed for use by law profession for example CAD etc.
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.
a. The CPU tells the RAM which address holds the data that the CPU wants to read. 6. A user has opened a word processor, typed the numbers 123456789, and stored the document as a file called report1. Which of the following determines, in part, what bits the computer stores in the file to represent the text typed into the report?
vi. B: The CPU reads all RAM sequentially, beginning with the first byte, until it happens to read the byte that the CPU wanted to read. 6. A user has opened a word processor, typed the numbers 123456789, and stored the document as a file called report1. Which of the following determines, in part, what bits the computer stores in the file to represent the text typed into the report?
Which of the following is true about the process of read data, as described in the chapter? a. The CPU tells the RAM which address holds the data that the CPU wants to read. 6. A user has opened a word processor, typed the numbers123456789, and stored the document as a file called report1.
Which of the following is true about the process of read data, as described in the chapter? D. The CPU must first find the file in the file system before reading the data. 6. A user has opened a word processor, type the numbers 123456789, and stored the document as a file called report 1. Which of the following determines, in part, what bits the computer stores in the file to represent the text typed into the report?
(Choose two answers.) a. Used for short-term memory b. Used for long-term memory c. Used to process data d. Connects to the CPU over a bus using a cable e. Is installed onto the motherboard 5. This chapter describes the concepts behind how a CPU reads the contents from RAM.
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.
A.Used for short term memory, E. Is installed on the motherboard 5. This chapter describes the concepts behind how a CPU reads the contents from RAM. Which of the following is true about the process of read data. As described in the chapter?A.The CPU tells the RAM which address holds data that the CPU wants to read. 6.
My major is Electronics Engineering. i can be working with computer hardware and software. also, comuntication system like Analog commyntraction system and digital communtaction system. try to fix and opreate machines. in addition too, i can work with Electronic circuits.electronic deivces that have to deal with enrgy.
