15. Two main parts of an object-oriented programming language include objects and models.
a. True
b. False
ANSWER: False
RATIONALE: Correct. Two main parts of an OOP include objects and classes. An object is an item that
contains both data and the procedures that read and manipulate it. A class defines the
format of the object and the action that it performs. See 2-9: Object-Oriented

16. The object-oriented programming language principle of inheritance is a feature that reduces application development
time by using existing codes.
a. True
b. False
ANSWER: True
RATIONALE: Correct. Abstraction, inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation are four key principles
of OOP. Inheritance enables new objects to take on the properties of existing objects. This
feature reduces application development time by using existing codes. See 2-9: Object-

ANSWER: False
RATIONALE: Correct. Abstraction, inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation are four key principles
of OOP. Polymorphism is the ability to process objects differently depending on their data
type or class. Encapsulation means grouping related items into a single unit. See 2-9:

18. Object-oriented programming languages are not tailored to any specific OS or programming environment.
a. True
b. False
ANSWER: False
RATIONALE: Correct. Each OOP is tailored to a specific OS and programming environment. For
example, Swift is mostly used for programming environment and apps development for
MacOS and iOS; C#, developed by Microsoft, is mostly used for Windows apps and
Windows programming environment; and Java is used for cross- platform development.

19. A(n) is a step-by-step direction for performing a specific task, which is written in a language the computer can
understand.
a. array
b. server
c. cache
d. program
ANSWER: d
RATIONALE: Correct. A program is a step-by-step direction for performing a specific task, written in a
language the computer can understand. To write a computer program, first you must know
what needs to be done, and then you must plan a method to achieve this goal, including

a. disk drive
b. motherboard
c. control unit
d. processor
ANSWER: a
RATIONALE: Correct. A disk drive is a peripheral device for recording, storing, and retrieving
information. A computer system consists of hardware and software. Hardware components
are physical devices, such as keyboards, monitors, and processing units. The software
component consists of programs written in computer languages. See 2-1: Defining a

23. A(n) is a communication interface through which information is transferred one bit at a time.
a. extended capability port
b. parallel port
c. serial port
d. enhanced parallel port
ANSWER: c
RATIONALE: Correct. A serial port is a communication interface through which information is
transferred one bit at a time. It is located on the motherboard of a computer. A parallel port
is an interface between a computer and a printer that enables the computer to transfer
multiple bits of information to the printer simultaneously. See 2-1: Defining a Computer
