AP Computer Science Principles Exam Prep QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS WITH RATIONALES
(100% CORRECT AND VERIFIED ANSWERS) |ALREADY
GRADED A||BRAND NEW!!
ANSWERS: External library
A well-written, efficient, and thoroughly tested code module that is
separately compiled and then drawn on by any program that wishes
to use its capabilities.
ANSWERS: Functional programming languages
Views every task in terms of functions. In this context, function means
something like a mathematical function—a recipe for taking an
argument (or possibly several arguments) and doing something
with them to compute a single value.
ANSWERS: Knowledge base
Facts and rules about a certain domain of interest.
, ANSWERS: Open source
Software whose source code is freely available and may be used,
distributed, or modified by anyone.
ANSWERS: Recursive
Something that is defined in terms of "smaller versions" of itself.
ANSWERS: Continuous model
A model of a system using mathematical equations that describe
system performance as a continuous function of time t.
ANSWERS: Discrete event simulation
A computational modeling technique that simulates the behavior
of a system only at discrete points in time.
,ANSWERS: Computational model
A model constructed using algorithmic procedures implemented
as computer programs.
ANSWERS: Computational steering
A procedure for using a computational model to improve the design
of an actual system by continually resetting model parameters to
improve system performance.
ANSWERS: Computer graphics
The field of computer science that examines the technical problems
of displaying visual images on a computer screen.
ANSWERS: Garbage in, garbage out
The term for the fact that the output coming out of a computer
model is only as accurate as the assumption used to build the
model.
ANSWERS: Scientific visualization
The use of images and visualization techniques to make scientific
data easier to interpret and understand.
, ANSWERS: Simulation model
Another term for a computational model.
ANSWERS: Statistical distribution
This is a mathematical function that describes the probability of a
random quantity taking on certain values.
ANSWERS: Stochastic components
Parts of a model that display random behavior.
ANSWERS: Uniform random number
Every value in the range from a to b has the same chance of occurring.
ANSWERS: Analogy
Arguing about a problem by comparing it to a related problem, which
you claim is very similar in terms of its ethical implications and
consequences.
ANSWERS: Consequentialism
A school of thought in ethics that focuses on the consequences of an
act to determine if the act is good or bad.
