Ecpi - Cis121 - Programming Logic And Design - Unit 1

Front 1

Computer system

Back 1

Combination of all the components required to process and store data using a computer

Front 2

Hardware

Back 2

Equipment associated with a computer

Front 3

Software

Back 3

- Computer instructions

- Tell the hardware what to do

Front 4

Programs

Back 4

Instructions written by programmers

Front 5

Input

Back 5

Data items enter computer

Front 6

Processing

Back 6

By central processing unit (CPU

Front 7

What are the 3 major operations of computer hardware and software

Back 7

- Input

- processing

- output

Front 8

Programming language

Back 8

Use to write computer instructions

Examples
Visual Basic, C#, C++, or Java

Front 9

Syntax

Back 9

Rules governing its word usage and punctuation

Front 10

Computer memory

Back 10

- Computer’s temporary, internal storage

- Volatile

Front 11

What kind of memory are permanent storage devices?

Back 11

Nonvolatile

Front 12

Compiler or an interpreter

Back 12

- Translates program code into machine language (binary language)

- Checks for syntax errors

Front 13

Program executes or runs

Back 13

Input will be accepted, some processing will occur, and results will be output

Front 14

What happens when a computer has a syntax error?

Back 14

It cannot execut

Front 15

What are logical errors

Back 15

- Errors in program logic

- Produce incorrect output as a result

Front 16

What is the logic of a computer program

Back 16

a sequence of specific instructions in specific order

Front 17

What is a variable

Back 17

named memory location whose value can vary

Front 18

What is program development cycle?

Back 18

- Understand the problem

- plan the logic

- code the program

- use software (a compiler or interpreter to translate the program into machine language)

- test the program

- put the program into production

- maintain the program

Front 19

Who are users or end users?

Back 19

People for whom program is written

Front 20

What is documentation?

Back 20

Supporting paperwork for a program

Front 21

What are the most common planning tools?

Back 21

- Flow Charts

- Pseudocode

Front 22

What is Desk-Checking

Back 22

Walking through a program's logic on paper before you actually write the program

Front 23

Translator program

Back 23

- Compiler or interpreter

- Changes the programmer’s English-like high-level programming language into the low-level machine language

Front 24

Syntax error

Back 24

- Misuse of a language’s grammar rules

- Programmer corrects listed syntax errors

- Might need to recompile the code several times

Front 25

Logical error

Back 25

Use a syntactically correct statement but use the wrong one for the current context

Front 26

Test

Back 26

Execute the program with some sample data to see whether the results are logically correct

Front 27

When you run a test on a program what should you do?

Back 27

Test it with many sets of data

Front 28

Conversion

Back 28

This is the entire set of actions an organization must take to switch over to using a new program or set of programs

Front 29

Maintenance

Back 29

This is making changes to a program after it is put into production

Front 30

What do new programmers usually do?

Back 30

They maintain the programs that are already in use

Front 31

After you make changes to an existing program what must you do?

Back 31

Repeat the development cycle

Front 32

What is a Pseudocode?

Back 32

This is an english-like representation of the logical steps it takes to solve a problem

Front 33

What is a flow chart

Back 33

This is a pictorial representation of the logical steps it takes to solve a problem

ex
start
input myNumber
set myAnswer = myNumber x 2
output myAnswer
stop
