UNIT 1 ASSIGNMENT 1 1) R.A.M- Stands for (random access memory). This is a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly. RAM is the most common type of memory found in computers and other devices. 2) O.S.-(operating system) is a collection of software that manages computer hardware resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is an essential component of the system software in a computer system.
6. Which of the following determines, in part what bits the computer stores in the file to represent the text typed into the report. C. Character set 7. What bits the computer store in RAM to represent the number 123456789? D. The binary equivalent to 123456789 8.
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?
Which of the following are some of the important features supplied by files as defined by a computer OS? a. Keeps data in order b. Provides a
The following sections present several issues to consider when naming project files and media files. My computer use various file names for different formats that I use on a daily basis, but I save them using space in files names
What is a mount point? A mount point is a term used to describe where the computer puts the files in a file system on Unix-like systems. 9. How many primary drive partitions are supported on computers that still conform to the standard established by MS-DOS? How many total partitions can a standard computer disk [IDE/SATA] support?
.sin Organizes projects, project items and solution items into the solution by providing the environment with references to their locations on disk. .suo Records all of the options that you might associate with your solution so that each time you open it, it includes customizations that you have made. .vb a file for storing groups of functions. 4) When is Visual Basic in design time? run time?
4.4 Give four general examples of the use of threads in a single-user multiprocessing system. Foreground and background work: For example, in a spreadsheet program, one thread could display menus and read user input, while another thread executes user commands and updates the spreadsheet. This arrangement often increases the perceived speed of the application by allowing the program to prompt for the next command before the previous command is complete. Asynchronous processing: Asynchronous elements in the program can be implemented as threads. For example, as a protection against power failure, one can design a word processor to write its random access memory (RAM) buffer to disk once every minute.
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?
