CSE 180 LATEST 2026 EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
GRADED A+
✔✔A program form which is directly executable by a computer is the: - ✔✔binary object
file (binary)
✔✔From smallest to largest, the correct order is - ✔✔kilo, mega, giga, tera
✔✔Register is: - ✔✔A small memory location inside the CPU.
In computer architecture, a register is a small amount of storage available on the CPU
whose contents can be accessed more quickly than storage available elsewhere.
✔✔Computer speed is dependent upon all of the following except: - ✔✔byte size
The byte size is 8 bits and has nothing to do with the speed of a computer.
✔✔The decode stage of the CPU cycle is used to - ✔✔Translate the program's binary
code into instructions that CPU understand
✔✔On the computer, one billion clock ticks per second is called: - ✔✔gigahertz (GHz)
Computer are so fast now, one billion clock ticks per second is called gigahertz.
✔✔In the Fetch/Execute Cycle, the action of retrieving the instruction's operands from
memory occurs during the: - ✔✔Data Fetch (DF) Step
In the Fetch/Execute Cycle, the action of retrieving the instruction's operands from
memory occurs during the data fetch (DF) step.
✔✔The ALU is used in the - ✔✔Instruction Execution
✔✔Management of a computer's hardware is done with: - ✔✔an operating system
The operating system controls the basic tasks of the computer.
✔✔Which of the following is not an operating system? - ✔✔Assembly
Assembly is a low-level programming language.
✔✔Instruction sequences that repeat are called: - ✔✔loops
, ✔✔On the textbook, the intersect of an alphabetized list (IAL) algorithm and the No
Alphabetized Lists (NAL) algorithm are different solutions because they: - ✔✔all of the
above
✔✔Which of the following is an example of definiteness? - ✔✔Add A and B. Divide the
sum by C. If C = 0, the solution is "undefined."
Algorithm must specify every step and the order to perform them. Definiteness means
specifying the sequence of operations for transforming the input into the output.
✔✔The correct order from lowest to highest level of detail of the same program is: -
✔✔programming language, assembly language, and binary
✔✔Algorithm must always - ✔✔produce output or state that there is no solution
✔✔A computer algorithm must have: - ✔✔all of the above:
a specified input and output
definiteness
effectiveness
✔✔On your textbook pp.304, the diagram in Figure 10.2 is called a flowchart - ✔✔True
A flowchart is common type of chart that represents an algorithm or process, showing
the steps as boxes of various kinds, and their order by connecting these with arrows.
Flowcharts are used in analyzing, designing, documenting or managing a process or
program in various fields.
✔✔A heuristic process: - ✔✔provides guidelines for finding a solution
✔✔A loop must include a _______ to determine if the instructions should be repeated
one more time - ✔✔test
✔✔Programmers use programming languages because these languages - ✔✔are
precise and unambiguous
✔✔With stringent laws against spam in many places, and spammers being prosecuted,
spam is no longer a common problem. - ✔✔False
Unsolicited commercial email, popularly known as spam, is still a serious annoyance for
regular computer users. Without doing anything to provoke it, a person can be sent
more than 100 spam messages a day. There are laws against spam in many places
now, but it still persists.
