ABCs of Programming

Question 1

is a common computer term that can be used as both a noun and a verb. It is an executable software that runs on a computer.

Answer 1

Program

Question 2

It is a notation designed to connect instructions to a machine or a computer. It is mainly used to control the performance of a machine or to express algorithms.

Answer 2

Programming Language

Question 3

is a group of related data values (called elements) that are grouped together.

Answer 3

Arrays

Question 4

Are used in programming for operating on the individual bits of binary values.

Answer 4

bitwise operators

Question 5

It is a general term used to describe any unexpected problem with hardware or software.

Answer 5

Bug

Question 6

It is a term used to describe text that is written using the protocol of a particular language, such as C, Java, Perl, PHP, or other programming language by a computer programmer.

Answer 6

Code

Question 7

Is to transform a program written in a high-level programming language from source code into object code.

Answer 7

Compile

Question 8

It reads the whole source code and translates it into a complete machine code program to perform the required tasks which is output as a new file.

Answer 8

Compiler

Question 9

It is the process of writing, testing, debugging/troubleshooting, and maintaining the source code of computer programs.

Answer 9

Computer Programming

Question 10

refers to the process of examining and removing errors from a program’s source code.

Answer 10

Debugging

Question 11

It is a variable type that is used to store floating-point number values

Answer 11

floating-point

Question 12

low level languages that are machine language

Answer 12

first-generation languages

Question 13

low-level languages that generally consist of assembly languages.

Answer 13

second-generation languages

Question 14

high level languages such as C.

Answer 14

third-generation languages

Question 15

languages that consist of statements like that in a human language.

Answer 15

fourth-generation languages

Question 16

Programming languages that contain visual tools to help develop a program

Answer 16

fifth-generation languages

Question 17

It is a graphical (rather than purely textual) user interface to a computer

Answer 17

GUI or Graphical User Interface

Question 18

It is a computer programming language that isn’t limited by the computer, designed for a specific job, and is easier to understand. It is more like human language and less like machine language.

Answer 18

high-level language

Question 19

It is a program that executes instructions written in a high-level language

Answer 19

Interpreter

Question 20

It is a software program that is designed to help programmers and developers build software.

Answer 20

IDE or Integrated Development Environment

Question 21

It describes the process of a software program or script repeats the same instructions or processes the same information over and over until receiving the order to stop.

Answer 21

Loop

Question 22

It defines a lack of value

Answer 22

Null

Question 23

It is a programming language model organized around “objects” rather than “actions” and data rather than logic. Historically, a program has been viewed as a logical procedure that takes input

Answer 23

Object-oriented programming (OOP)

Question 24

It is someone who writes computer program. They write, test, and maintain programs or software that tells the computer what to do.

Answer 24

Programmer

Question 25

A vocabulary and set of grammatical rules (syntax) for instructing a computer to perform specific tasks.

Answer 25

Programming Language

Question 26

It is a collection of binary digits or bits that the computer reads and interprets. They are the only languages understood by computers.

Answer 26

Machine language

Question 27

It use keywords and symbols, much like English, to form a programming language but at the same time introduce a new problem.

Answer 27

Assembly languages

Question 28

It allow us to write computer code using instructions resembling everyday spoken language which are then translated into machine language to be executed.

Answer 28

High-level languages

Question 29

It consists of the programming statements that are created by a programmer with a text editor or a visual programming tool and then saved in a file.

Answer 29

Source code

Question 30

(sometimes known as modular programming) is a subset of procedural programming that enforces a logical structure on the program being written to make it more efficient and easier to understand and modify.

Answer 30

Structured programming

Question 31

It is a location capable of storing temporary data within a program.

Answer 31

Variable
