Introduction to Java Programming
Daniel Laing 9th edition

ISM3230
Midterm Chapters 1-6.
Application Program Interface (API)
Ans: Also known as a library, contains predefined
classes and interfaces for developing Java programs
Assembler
Ans: A program to convert assembly language into
machine language
Assembly Language
Ans: Low-Level language created to ease the code
writing.
Bit
, Page 2
Ans: A unit of measurement of information, 0 & 1
create digits known as the binary number system.
Block
Ans: Curly braces {}, every class has class blocking that
groups the data and methods of the class.
Block Comment
Ans: (/*) Creates a block comment, computers will read
the first (/*) and ignore all text until the fin al (*/). (for
multiply line instructions or comments)
Bus
Ans: Subsystem of computer components that power
and data flow through.
Byte
Ans: a sequence of 8 bits (enough to represent one
character of alphanumeric data) processed as a sin gle
unit of information
Bytecode
, Page 3
Ans: Is similar to machine instructions but is
architecture neutral and can run on any platform that
has a JVM.
Bytecode Verifier
Ans: Checks the validity of the Bytecode and to ensure
that the Bytecode does not violate Java's security
restrictions.
Cable Modem
Ans: Uses the cable TV line maintained by the cable
company and is generally faster than DSL
Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Ans: The part of a computer (a microprocessor chip)
that does most of the data processing. 2 parts; Control
Unit and Arithmetic/LogicUnit.
Class Loader
Ans: Is a part of the Java Runtime Environment that
dynamically loads Java classes into the Java Virtual
Machine. Usually classes are only loaded on demand.
The Java run time system does not need to know about
files and file systems because of class loaders.

Comment
Ans: Help programmers to communicate and understand
the program. (//) single line comment. (/**/) multiply
line comment
Compiler
Ans: Is a computer program (or set of programs) that
transforms source code written in a programming
language into another computer language (the target
language, often having a binary form known as object
code). The most common reason for wanting to
transform source code is to create an executable
program.
Console
Ans: Is an old computer term that refers to the text
entry and display device of the computer.
Dot Pitch
Ans: The amount of space between pixels, measured in
millimeters. The smaller the dot pitch the sharper the
display.
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
