QUESTION SET AND CORRECT ANSWERS
GRADED A PLUS
◉ analysis.
Answer: process of automatically analyzing the behavior of
computer programs for things like correctness, robustness, or safety
◉ bandwidth.
Answer: a data transmission rate
◉ BIOS.
Answer: Basic Input Output System - special firmware stored in a
chip on your computer's motherboard. First program that runs
every time you turn on computer.
◉ bitmap.
Answer: image represented as two-dimensional array of brightness
values for pixels
◉ Boolean.
, Answer: of or relating to a combinatorial system devised by George
Boole that combines propositions with the logical operators AND
and OR and IF THEN and EXCEPT and NOT
◉ cloaking.
Answer: a technique to deliver content on a Web page to a search
engine in such a way that different content than what is delivered to
a regular human user appears on the search engine. Goal is to boost
a website's search engine rank on certain keywords
◉ CMOS.
Answer: short for Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor; an
on-board, battery powered semiconductor chip inside computers
that stores information. When you make changes to your BIOS
configuration, the settings are not stored on the BIOS chip itself.
Instead, they are stored on a CMOS.
◉ coding.
Answer: creating commands or algorithms designed to be carried
out by a computer
◉ computational artifact.
Answer: anything created by a human using a computer - e.g.
