This document provides a fully answered and verified set of 75 exam questions for COMP 200, a foundational course in Computer Science focused on data structures, Java programming, and operating system fundamentals. Designed for the 2025/2026 academic year, this material offers precise answers with key definitions and concepts, ideal for both exam prep and deep comprehension. The first section covers programming logic and structures, including sorting algorithms (selection, bubble, quicksort, merge), stacks, queues, trees, and arrays. Java-specific syntax and semantics like the use of new, array declaration, and memory management with pointers are thoroughly reviewed. The second section transitions into operating systems—explaining concepts such as multiprocessing, deadlock, interrupts, memory management, file systems, and command-line utilities in Linux and DOS. It includes both conceptual questions and command-use cases (e.g., fdisk, man, ls -lrt, explorer), as well as behavioral expectations for user accounts, permissions, and system startup processes. This resource is especially valuable for: Undergraduate computer science students in introductory programming or systems courses Learners studying for midterms or finals in data structures or OS theory Students enrolled in programs at universities like MIT, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and other CS-focused institutions Those pursuing associate degrees in IT, or coding bootcamps with Java and Linux components The question-answer format makes this document ideal for self-testing, group study, or last-minute revision. Keywords: COMP 200, Java arrays, sorting algorithms, selection sort, quicksort, stack operations, queue structure, binary tree, pointers, recursion, Linux fdisk, DOS commands, operating system functions, RAM vs ROM, file systems, kernel, multitasking, multiprocessing, deadlock, command-line interface, memory management
