CS Study Progress Pt.2

Your organization has 20 employees who need an accounting software update installed. Due to a

miscommunication, the purchaser only paid to update 10 licenses. The software company issued a paper license

and a single key for updating 10 users. This is an enterprise paper license and there is no mechanism that

enforces a limit to the number of times the key can be used. You decide to update all 20 users.

Which of the following are possible consequences of this decision? (Select two.)

• The software company will never detect the violation so negative consequences are unlikely.

• There are no consequences. By law, you are allowed 1 to 3 activations per user.

• The software will eventually stop working properly for the 10 extra updates you installed.

• Your company is exposed to litigation by violating the software license agreement.

• You risk losing your job.

Lynda, a programmer, is developing a Linux device driver in assembly language. Many device drivers are written in the C language. Which of the following is the BEST reason for using assembly language instead of C?

• Code written in assembly is more efficient and allows direct access to hardware.

• Assembly code is more portable than C.

• Code written in assembly is easier to read than compiled C code.

• Assembly code is more detailed and doesn't use libraries.

Computer programming is ________________

Lydia, a programmer, is using a two-dimensional array to store a user's status for their chat program. As a

Which of the following is true about containers?

• A container is an identifier that is used to reference the user array.

• A container is not relevant to this array example.

• A container is only used to declare arrays.

• A container cannot be used for string vectors.

After lunning the following pseudocode, what will the value of VARIABLE be?

Set value of VARIABLE to 5.

Increase the value of VARIABLE by 3

If the value of VARIABLE is odd, increase its value by 1

If the value of VARIABLE is even, increase the value by 1

If the value of VARIABLE is odd, increase its value by 1
