CMPSC 101 Mod 2 Quiz CORRECT
100%
special characters - ANSWERthe non-alphanumeric symbols on a keyboard, such as
$, @, and /, but also includes hidden characters used in software for special
functions, such as a non-breaking space
extended characters - ANSWERCharacters that cannot be accessed directly from
the keyboard; for the most part, characters with an ASCII value higher than 128.
debugging - ANSWERFinding and fixing problems in your algorithm or program.
run-time error - ANSWERAn error in a program that makes it impossible to run to
completion. Also called an "exception".
arithmetic operations - ANSWERaddition, subtraction, multiplication, division
binary operation - ANSWERcombines two numbers at a time to produce a third
Parenthesis - ANSWERA parenthesis is a punctuation mark used to enclose
information, similar to a bracket. The open parenthesis, which looks like (, is used to
begin parenthetical text. The close parenthesis, ), denotes the end of parenthetical
text. ... Parentheses in computer programming
Type Casting - ANSWERConverting data from one type to another, e.g., from string
to int, potentially losing information.
int - ANSWERAn integer is a whole number (not a fraction) that can be positive,
negative, or zero. ... Unlike floating point numbers, integers cannot have decimal
places. Integers are a commonly used data type in computer programming.
float - ANSWERA float is a floating-point number, which means it is a number that
has a decimal place. Floats are used when more precision is needed.
% symbol - ANSWERsignifies percent - is followed by one space
padded - ANSWERBits or characters that fill up unused portions of a data structure,
such as a field, packet or frame. Typically, padding is done at the end of the
structure to fill it up with data, with the padding usually consisting of 1 bits, blank
characters or null characters.
Type Casting - ANSWERConverting data from one type to another, e.g., from string
to int, potentially losing information.
Comment - ANSWERIn computer programming, a comment is a programmer-
readable explanation or annotation in the source code of a computer program. They
are added with the purpose of making the source code easier for humans to
understand, and are generally ignored by compilers and interpreters.
