, 12. A Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is designed to perform many calculations
simultaneously, making it well-suited for AI, machine learning, and graphics processing.
ANS: T
13. Main memory is nonvolatile, meaning its contents are preserved even when the computer is
powered off.
ANS: F
14. Cloud storage is a form of secondary storage that allows data to be accessed from multiple
devices over an internet connection.
ANS: T
15. An operating system is an example of application software.
ANS: F
16. Pseudocode is a tool used during program design that combines elements of human
language and a programming language to outline a program’s logic.
ANS: T
17. A runtime error is always detected and reported by the compiler before the program is
executed.
ANS: F
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. What does the term hardware refer to?
a. The relative difficulty of writing computer programs
