Chapter 1: Introduction

Front 1

Monitors, printers, status lights are all examples of

Back 1

output devices

Front 2

Mice, trackpads, keyboards, scanners, joysticks are all examples of

Back 2

input devices

Front 3

At each step of its operation, the input to a Central Processing Unit is

Back 3

an instruction

Front 4

A binary digit

Back 4

is zero or one

Front 5

A bit is

Back 5

a binary digit, like 0 or 1

Front 6

A byte in memory is identified by a unique number called its

Back 6

address

Front 7

In modern computer systems, a byte consists of

Back 7

8 bits

Front 8

RAM, random-access memory, is called that because

Back 8

you can pick any two random locations and it will take the same time to access the data

Front 9

3K means about 3 thousand bytes. How would you express two hundred million bytes?

Back 9

200M

Front 10

3K means about 3 thousand bytes. How would you express five billion bytes?

Back 10

5G

Front 11

3K means about 3 thousand bytes. How would you express four trillion bytes?

Back 11

4T

Front 12

Flash drives, CDs, external disks are all examples of

Back 12

external storage memory devices

Front 13

When a program runs on a computer, the part of the computer that carries out the instructions is called the

Back 13

CPU

Front 14

When a program runs on a computer, it is stored in

Back 14

memory

Front 15

When a program is not running, it is stored

Back 15

on a disk

Front 16

What best defines a "programming language"?

Back 16

it allows us to express an algorithm

Front 17

All are true EXCEPT:

1. Machine languages can be used to express algorithms

2. Machine languages can be used to write programs that can run on any machine.

3. Machine language consists of zeros and ones. 4. Machine language is produced by compilers.

Back 17

2

Front 18

A compiler

Back 18

Translates source code into executable code

Front 19

The code that a programmer writes is called

Back 19

source code

Front 20

An operating system

Back 20

allocates resources like memory to programs that are running.

Front 21

Rearrange the following code so that it forms a correct program that prints out the letter Q:

Back 21

Front 22

Write a statement that prints Hello, world to the screen.

Back 22

Front 23

Write a complete main method that prints Hello, world to the screen.

Back 23

Front 24

Suppose your name was Alan Turing. Write a statement that would print your last name , followed by a comma, followed by a space and your first name .

Back 24

Front 25

Suppose your name was George Gershwin. Write a complete main method that would print your last name , followed by a comma, followed by a space and your first name .

Back 25

Front 26

Write a complete program whose class name is Hello and that displays Hello, world on the screen.

Back 26

Front 27

A comment starts with what characters?

Back 27

//

Front 28

The text of a comment

Back 28

can be anything the programmer wants to write

Front 29

We hope you never have to encounter anything like the following expression in a program, but consider it for a moment and indicate its value: ( /* 5 + 3 */ - 9 + 6/*8*//2 ) //*+4*/ -10

Back 29

-6

Front 30

int twoPi = 3.14159; /* holds the value of two times pi */

Back 30

Valid comment

Front 31

/* This is a //*// First Rate Program //*//

Back 31

invalid comment

Front 32

The rules that govern the correct order and usage of the elements of a language are called the

Back 32

syntax of the language

Front 33

Files containing Java code must end with what "extension"?

Back 33

.java

Front 34

An error in a program that involves a violation of language rules will be detected at

Back 34

compile time

Front 35

Division by zero when the program is executing is an example of a

Back 35

runtime error

Front 36

In Java, an argument is

Back 36

information provided to a method

Front 37

Console input

Back 37

receive input from the keyboard

Front 38

Console output

Back 38

display output on the monitor

Front 39

IDE

Back 39

Integrated Development Environments for creating/editing Java source code

Front 40

Syntax Errors

Back 40

Errors that are detected by a compiler (compile errors

Result from errors in code construction

Front 41

Runtime errors

Back 41

errors that cause a program to terminate abnormally

occur while a program is running if the environment detects an operation that is impossible to carry out

Front 42

Input error

Back 42

occurs when the program is waiting for the user to enter a value but the user enters a value that the program cannot handle

Front 43

Logic errors

Back 43

occur when a program does not perform the way it was intended to
