TSA Coding Questions and Answers Graded A Computer Program Any form of software that runs on top of the operating system Programming Language A system of conventions and symbols used to create instructions for computers, which read through and follow the instructions in the code (content written using a programming language) Machine Code A binary system that is made of a series of 1s and 0s. It is considered the lowest level of programming and is the set of instructions with which the computer's CPU works directly Low-level Language A programming language whose code is more similar to what the computer works with and is less human-readable; it is very specific and directly manipulates hardware. They are more efficient but harder to use. Examples: C, C++ High-level Language A programming language whose code has multiple layers of abstraction (i.e. the code has to be translated into a form that the computer can understand) and is thus more human-readable. With high-level languages, one does not directly manipulate the hardware and instead works with the logic of the program. Examples: FORTRAN, COBOL Source Code The code that is written by the prog
