VISUAL BASIC MODULE 01: EXAM REVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS, RATED A+ Computers process data under the control of sequences of instructions called __________. - - computer programs A computer consists of various devices referred to as __________ , such as the keyboard, screen, mouse, hard disks, memory, DVD drives and processing units. - -hardware Data items processed by computers form a(n) __________ that becomes larger and more complex in structure as we progress from the simplest data items (called "bits") to richer data items, such as characters, fields, and so on. - -data hierarchy Computers can directly understand only their __________ language, which is composed only of 1s and 0s. - -machine language The three types of computer programming languages discussed in the chapter are machine languages, __________ and __________. - -assembly languages high-level languages Programs that translate high-level-language programs into machine language are called __________. - -compilers A(n) __________ processor implements several CPUs on a single "microchip"—a dualcore processor has two CPUs and a quad-core processor has four CPUs. - -multi-core Objects, or more precisely the __________ that objects come from, are essentially reusable software components. - -classes You send messages to an object. Each message is implemented as a method __________ that tells a method of the object to perform its task. - -call A new class of objects can be created quickly and conveniently by __________; the new class absorbs the characteristics of an existing class, possibly customizing them and adding unique characteristics of its own. - -inheritance To create the best solutions, you should follow a detailed analysis process for determining your project's __________ (i.e., defining what the system is supposed to do) and developing a design that satisfies them (i.e., deciding how the system should do it). - -requirements Visual Basic is __________ driven. You'll write programs that respond to mouse clicks, keystrokes, timer expirations and—new in Visual Basic 2012—touches and finger swipes. - -event Microsoft's Visual Basic is a(n) __________ programming language—in addition to writing program statements to build portions of your apps, you'll also use Visual Studio's graphical user interface (GUI) to conveniently drag and drop predefined objects like buttons and textboxes into place on your screen, and label and resize them. - -visual C++ provides several features that "spruce up" the C language, but more important, it provides capabilities for _________-oriented programming. - -object A key goal of Java is to be able to write programs that will run on a great variety of computer systems and computer-controlled devices
