NOCTI Computer Programming QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS.
A code review - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅systematic examination (sometimes referred
to as peer review) of computer source code. It is intended to find mistakes overlooked in
the initial development phase, improving the overall quality of software.
A design review - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅a milestone within a product development
process whereby a design is evaluated against its requirements in order to verify the
outcomes of previous activities and identify issues before committing to - and if need to
be re-prioritize - further work.
Access methods - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅methods to access data on external
devices.
Appropriate variable names - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅camelCase, No reserved words,
No spaces, No reserved symbols, Be descriptive.
Arithmetic error - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅the data has had a calculation error.
BASIC - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅CAPITAL reserved words, FOR TO: the TO is
included in how many times it runs.
Beta - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅point: (# x, y: @integer #)
Boundary error - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅the data has accidentally stepped out of
bounds.
Bus - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅passes data.
Circle - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅connectors.
Compile errors - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅caused by bad syntax.
Compiler - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅takes in the entire program, checks for errors,
compiles it, and then executes it.
CPU - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Central Processing Unit. Processes instructions
, data dictionary - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅a set of information describing the contents,
format, and structure of a database and the relationship between its elements, used to
control access to and manipulation of the database.
Data formats Delimited - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅a character is used to separate the
values (comma, tab, colon).
Data formats Fixed length - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅
Data hierarchies - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅the systematic organization of data, often
in a hierarchical form. Data organization involves characters, fields, records, files and so
on.
Data Storage Field length - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅the amount of characters the field
can hold.
Data Storage Record length - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅the length, in bytes, of each
record in the data set. Of all the fields.
Data types - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅follows what type of data it is.
Deployment - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅is all of the following activities that make a
software system available for use: Release, Install and Activate, Deactivate, Adapt,
Update, Built-in, Version Tracking, Uninstall, Retire
Design document - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅lays out the general requirements that
when changed, motivate the existence and purpose of a given code set.
Design Program Solutions - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅
Diamond - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅decision.
Distributed computing - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅a field of computer science that
studies distributed systems. A distributed system is a model in which components
located on networked computers communicate and coordinate their actions by passing
messages. The components interact with each other in order to achieve a common
goal.
Fortran - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅One of the oldest programming languages, the
FORTRAN was developed by a team of programmers at IBM led by John Backus, and
was first published in 1957. The name FORTRAN is an acronym for FORmula
TRANslation, because it was designed to allow easy translation of math formulas into
code.
