CCT Test UPDATED Exam Questions And
CORRECT Answers
Algorithm - CORRECT ANSWER - a sequence of steps; formulates problems as a series
of logical steps.
Analog vs. Digital - CORRECT ANSWER - ANALOG signal fluctuates exactly like the
original stimulus; DIGITAL signal is based on binary code and it is purposefully discontinuous
Analog computing - CORRECT ANSWER - non-programmable and task specific;
computing is the manipulation of numbers and symbols following established procedures. it is
not just what a machine does/digital/electric. EX: analog computers - astrolabes or slide rule
Application layer - CORRECT ANSWER - the interface/application; specifies the shared
protocols and interface methods used by hosts in a communications network; **top layer in the
internet stack, only part of the internet process humans see
Architecture - CORRECT ANSWER - a specific way of organizing the flow and
representation of information; represented visually by an x-ray diagram
Base (transistor) - CORRECT ANSWER - switches electricity between two states
Binary - CORRECT ANSWER - numbers or states coded as present (1) or absent (0);
anything that can be represented in binary can be computed
Bit Depth - CORRECT ANSWER - more bits mean more information -> the more bits you
have the greater the bit depth
Bit - CORRECT ANSWER - one bit can represent two unique things, smallest piece of
data
, Byte - CORRECT ANSWER - 8 bits is a byte -> this is the basic unite of measure for
information in computing
Black box - CORRECT ANSWER - a thing (architecture) that does something (algorithm);
every blackbox is a sociotechnical system
Boolean (or Conditional) Expression - CORRECT ANSWER - an expression used in
programming languages that produces a Boolean value when evaluated. A Boolean value is
either true or false.
Branching (programming) - CORRECT ANSWER - common type of control flow - a
branch is if the the else if statements in a control flow
Boolean Logic - CORRECT ANSWER - basic data structure: true or false, 1 or 0; human
reasoning reduced to a sequence of binary propositions (T/F) that can be strung together
infinitely; George Boole invented
Boolean Logic Gates - CORRECT ANSWER - constructed by connecting transistors
together
Capture (Digital Capture) - CORRECT ANSWER - The conversion of human behavior
and real-world data into machine input. -> Digital capture samples the original source.
Circuit Board - CORRECT ANSWER - A printed circuit board mechanically supports and
electrically connects electrical or electronic components using conductive tracks, pads and other
features etched from one or more sheet layers of copper laminated onto and/or between sheet
layers of a non-conductive substrate
Code (programming) - CORRECT ANSWER - collection of computer instructions using
computer-readable programming language; source code is transformed into binary machine code
Collector (transistor) - CORRECT ANSWER - collects electricity
