EXAM PAPER 2026 QUESTIONS WITH
ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ Abstraction.
Answer: one of the seven big ideas of the CS Principles curriculum. An
abstraction is a simplified and general representation of some complex
object or process. One example --we'll encounter many in this course,
including abstractions used in computer programming -- would be a Google
map.
◍ Digital Signal Processing.
Answer: (DSP) refers to manipulating analog information
◍ Computational model.
Answer: A model constructed using algorithmic procedures implemented as
computer programs.
◍ Advanced analytics.
Answer: processing large data sets by doing predictive modeling and pattern
matching
◍ Modulo Operation.
Answer: the modulo operation finds the remainder after division of one
number by another (sometimes called modulus). Given two positive
numbers, a (the dividend) and n (the divisor), a modulo n (abbreviated as a
mod n) is the remainder of the Euclidean division of a by n.
◍ Third-generation language.
Answer: Another name for high-level programming language asopposed to
, machine language (first generation) or assembly language (second
generation).
◍ Unicode.
Answer: Uses a 16-bit representation for characters.
◍ Undecidable problem.
Answer: Where no algorithm can be made that always leads to a correct yes
or no answer.
◍ Code.
Answer: Programming Instructions.
◍ Cost.
Answer: Weight; The number associated with an edge that indicates
distance, time, or estimated cost
◍ SSID (service set identifier).
Answer: is the primary name associated with an 802.11 wireless local area
network (WLAN) including home networks and public hotspots.
◍ Statement.
Answer: is just a standalone unit of execution and doesn't return anything
◍ Stepwise Refinement.
Answer: way of developing a computer program by first describing general
functions, then breaking each function down into details which are refined
in successive steps until the whole program is fully defined. Also called
top-down design. Invented by Niklaus Wirth in 1971
◍ Map Reduce.
Answer: uses a parallel distributed algorithm to process large amounts of
data
◍ Image.
Answer: A type of data used for graphics or pictures
◍ Synchronous Data.
Answer: Data is saved locally and is instantaneous
,◍ OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) Model.
Answer: a conceptual model that characterizes and standardizes the
communication functions of a telecommunication or computing system
without regard to its underlying internal structure and technology.
◍ Basic analytics.
Answer: processing large stat sets using data manipulation, simple
visualizations, and monitoring
◍ Asynchronous Data.
Answer: Data saved remotely causing a delayed response
◍ Social Engineering.
Answer: techniques that trick a person into disclosing confidential
information
◍ Client.
Answer: A computer that requests data stored on a server.
◍ Vint Cerf's 2002 Manifesto.
Answer: The Internet is for Everyone
◍ Trojian Horse.
Answer: is a type of malware that is often disguised as legitimate software.
Trojans can be employed by cyber-thieves and hackers trying to gain access
to users' systems. Users are typically tricked by some form of social
engineering into loading and executing Trojans on their systems.
◍ Configuration.
Answer: The way a system is set up, or the assortment of components that
make up the system. Can refer to either hardware or software, or the
combination of both.
◍ Hypothesis.
Answer: A proposed explanation for some phenomenon used as the basis for
further investigation.
◍ Petabyte (PB).
, Answer: 1,000 terabytes
◍ Steganography.
Answer: the art and science of hiding information by embedding messages
within other, seemingly harmless messages
◍ Monetized anaylytics.
Answer: processing large data sets to drive revenue growth
◍ Object code.
Answer: Machine language instructions.
◍ Output.
Answer: An operation that causes computed values to be sent to the outside
world for viewing or saving.
◍ Edge.
Answer: A line connecting two nodes
◍ Packet.
Answer: The unit of data that is routed on a packet-switched network.
◍ User Interface.
Answer: The visual elements of an program through which a user controls or
communications the application. Often abbreviated UI.
◍ Hardware design.
Answer: The process of designing the low level components of a computer,
including arithmetic and control circuits
◍ Computational steering.
Answer: A procedure for using a computational model to improve the design
of an actual system by continually resetting model parameters to improve
system performance.
◍ Bit.
Answer: Also called binary digit, it refers to a digit number, either a 0 or a 1.
◍ Operationalized analytics.
