INSY 2303 COMPREHENSIVE EXAM SCRIPT COMPLETE QUESTIONS VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
● ALU. Answer: (Arithmetic Logic Unit)
The part of the CPU that performs arithmetic and logical operations on
the numbers stored in its registers.
● ARPANET. Answer: (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network)
One of the first packet switching computer networks using TCP/IP, and
the prototype for the Internet.
● ASCII. Answer: (American Standard Code for Information
Interchange)
A code that represents characters as a series of 1s and 0s. Most
computers use ASCII code to represent text, making it possible to
transfer data between computers.
● Bandwidth. Answer: The data transmission capacity of a
communications channel. Digital signals are measured in bits per
second; analog signals in hertz.
● Binary. Answer: The representation of data using two states, such as
off-on or 1-0.
, ● BMP. Answer: (File Extension .bmp)
The native bitmap graphics file format of Microsoft Windows.
● BN. Answer: (Backbone Network)
high-speed network that connects many networks.
● Broadband. Answer: A term used to refer to communications channels
that have bandwidth that equals or exceeds 25 Mbps.
● CISC. Answer: (Complex Instruction Set Computer)
A general-purpose microprocessor chip designed to handle a wider array
of instructions than a RISC chip.
● Compression Types. Answer:
● Core. Answer: A core is part of a CPU that receives instructions and
performs calculations, or actions, based on those instructions. A set of
instructions can allow a software program perform a specific function.
Processors can have a single core or multiple cores.
● CPU. Answer: (Central Processing Unit)
The main processing circuitry, or "chip," within a computer that contains
the ALU, control unit, and registers.
