C182 OA Study guide (GSC1) Questions
And Answers 2023 Updated
DIKW Hierarchy - Answer- Data, Information, Knowledge, Wisdom
Information Technology (IT) - Answer- Describes the technology infrastructure that may
support information systems, although Information Technology could also support many
other types of systems. IT includes hardware, software, networks, and databases that
work together to allow an organization to manage data and information.
Protocol - Answer- Set of rules established to govern how people behave and interact
with each other.
A computer performs 4 operations - Answer- IPOS (Input, Processing, Output, Storage
cycle
Hardware - Answer- The physical components of a computer.
Software - Answer- the programs and other operating information used by a computer.
Network - Answer- A collection of computers and resources connected by various
media so they can communicate with each other.
Users - Answer- The people who use the computer system
The System Unit - Answer- Contains various components that enable the PC system to
run programs and complete other important functions.
Memory Types - Answer- Short term and Long term
Dynamic RAM - Answer- Typically called main memory
Static RAM - Answer- Cache memory and registers
Read-Only Memory (ROM) - Answer- Retains contents indefinitely
Zuse Z3 - Answer- 1941, German, Binary floating point, Electromechanical,
Programmable
Atanasoff-Berry - Answer- 1942, US, Binary, Electronic, Nonprogrammable
Colossus Mark 1 - Answer- 1944, UK, Binary, Electronic, Programmable
, Harvard Mark 1 - Answer- 1944, US, Decimal, Electromechanical, Programmable
Colossus Mark 2 - Answer- 1944, UK, Binary, Electronic, Programmable
Zuse - Answer- 1945, German, Binary Floating Point, Electromechanical,
Programmable
Machine Language - Answer- Binary code made up of 0s and 1s; usually this is data
converted from a high-level language by a compiler. Often used as a synonym for low-
level programming language. (0000 1001 0110 0100 1101 1111 1010 0011)
Assembly Language - Answer- Programming language that has the same structure and
set of commands as machine languages but allows programmers to use symbolic
representations of numeric machine code. (Move.1 #$2000030c, d0 ; Initialize DACR0)
High Level Language (HLL) - Answer- Function get_all_factors(number)
Structured Programming - Answer- Statements known as GOTOs were used in a large
number of early languages. The GOTO statement allowed the programmer to transfer
control from any location in a program to anywhere else in the program.
Compiler - Answer- Requires that the components of the software all be defined before
compilation can begin
Interpreted Language - Answer- Runs inside of a special environment called the
interpreter. The interpreter then converts that command to machine language and
executes it.
Scripting Languages - Answer- Javascript, ASP, JSP, PHP, Perl, Tcl and Phyton
Bandwidth - Answer- Transfer rate permissible over the media, described as some
number of bits per second (bps)
Network hub - Answer- A device that connects multiple computers into a network.
Network Switch - Answer- More functional connection than a hub. Its purpose is to only
send transmissions to a specific, intended computer.
Router - Answer- A device that connects multiple networks together; routes packets to
their next location in order to efficiently reach their destination.
Wireless Access Point (WAP) - Answer- Connected to a hub, switch, or router. Sends
out a wireless signal so computers on the network can connect without a cable.
Circuit Switched Network - Answer- Requires that a full pathway, or circuit, be est.
before transmission can begin and maintained during the entire transmission.
