CST Sem1 Review

What is computer science?

• The study of computers

• The study of science with computers

• The study of using computers to solve problems

• Programming rules, data and analysis, and networking

What is a program?

• An algorithm

• A series of tasks that must be completed in order to achieve a goal.

• A set of instructions that has been coded into a language that a computer can understand.

• A world wide network that connects millions of computers.

What is a computer system?

• A group of computing devices and programs working together for a common purpose.

• A series of connections between computing devices on a network starting with a sender and ending with a receiver.

• A measure of how many steps are needed to complete an algorithm

• All of these

What is a group of connected computers called?

• A network

• A computing system

• A node

• All of these

What is an algorithm?

• A set of instructions on how to do something

• A type of computer programming language

• A collection of program statements that performs a specific task when run by a computer.

• A computer system that run programs and process information

What is a computer?

• All of these

• A device that stores and processes information

• A collection of program statements.

• A device that makes sure the individual hardware devices work properly.

What is the difference between hardware and software?

• None of these

• Hardware has to do with the amount of data that can be sent over the internet, and software is about the time it takes for that data to travel from sender to receiver.

• Hardware is the physical parts of a computer, and software is the code or programs that the computers run.

• Hardware is the code or programs that the computers run, and software is the physical parts of a computer.

How are storage and processing hardware parts different?

• A processing hardware unit measures the strength of a network connection, while a processing unit makes sure the connection is available.

• Storage parts stores data, while processing hardware makes sure all hardware devices work properly.

• A processing unit makes sure the individual hardware devices work together, while a storage unit makes sure all commands are saved in the memory.

• A processing unit like the CPU runs programs, and a storage unit like RAM stores information.

What is the difference between the CPU ad the GPU?

• None of these

• There is no difference between the CPU and the GPU. They both do same thing.

• The GPU runs most of the programs in your computer, while the CPU makes sure the information is displayed on the screen.

• A CPU is the main brain of a computer, while the GPU displays the information on your screen.

What is troubleshooting?

• Fixing mistakes and errors in a program

• Solving problems by using a step-by-step approach.

• Finding and fixing errors in code.

• All of these
