Chapter 9-CSIS 110 Question and
answers correctly solved
In early programming languages, conserving machine resources was not an
issue - correct answer False
In assembly language, the programmer need not manage the details of the
movement of data items within memory. - correct answer False
The programmer's task is to devise the appropriate step-by-step sequence of
"imperative commands" that, when carried out by the computer, accomplish
the desired task. - correct answer True
Even though a high-level programming language allows the programmer to
think of memory locations in abstract rather than physical terms, the
programmer is still directing, via program instructions, every change in the
value of a memory location. - correct answer True
Machine language can use the notation --, //, or # to denote a program
comment. - correct answer False
In a high-level language, the programmer's only responsibilities for managing
data items are to declare (or in the case of Python, create) all constants and
variables the program will use. - correct answer True
The availability of the appropriate compiler guarantees that a program
developed on one type of machine can be compiled on a different type of
machine. - correct answer False
, The problem identification document commits the final and complete problem
specification to paper and guides the software developers in all subsequent
decisions. - correct answer False
If anything is changed on an already-tested module, regression testing is done
to be sure that this change hasn't introduced a new error into code that was
previously correct. - correct answer True
Program maintenance, the process of adapting an existing software product,
may consume as much as 85% of the total software development life cycle
budget. - correct answer False
A program written in a(n) procedural language consists of sequences of
statements that manipulate data items. - correct answer True
Each low-level language supports if statements and while loops - correct
answer False
The program implementation phase is the time to plan how it is to be done. -
correct answer False
Maintenance should be viewed as a separate step in the software
development life cycle. - correct answer False
A modern programming EXE provides a text editor, a file manager, a
compiler, a linker and loader, and tools for debugging, all within this one piece
of software. - correct answer False
Each assembly language statement corresponds to, at most, one
____________________ language statement. - correct answer machine
