4. Describe an instruction that is not well defined and thus could not be included as a step in an algori
cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx

thm. Give an example of such an instruction.

Solution:

Attempting to divide a number by 0 cx cx cx cx cx cx




5. In what sense is a laptop computer a general-purpose problem-solving machine?
cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx




Solution:

A laptop computer is a general-purpose problem-
cx cx cx cx cx cx

solving machine because it is programmable and can solve any problem for which there is an algorith

m.


6. List four devices that use computers and describe the information that they process. (Hint: Think of
cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx

the inputs and outputs of the devices.)
cx cx cx cx cx cx cx




Solution:
Digital camera—images, music player—sound, cell phone—text, ATM—numbers

EXERCISE 1.2 CX



1. List two examples of input devices and two examples of output devices.
cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx




Solution:
Input devices—keyboard and mouse, output devices—monitor and speakers
cx cx cx cx cx cx cx




2. What does the central processing unit (CPU) do?
cx cx cx cx cx cx cx




Solution:
The CPU fetches, decodes, and executes instructions.
cx cx cx cx cx cx




3. How is information represented in hardware memory?
cx cx cx cx cx cx




Solution:
Information is represented using binary notation, which in hardware is a pattern of voltage levels.

4. What is the difference between a terminal-based interface and a graphical user interface?
cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx




Solution:
A terminal-
cx

based interface supports only the input and output of text with a keyboard and monitor. A graphical u
cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx

ser interface supports the output of images and the manipulation of them with a pointing device, the mo

use.


5. What role do translators play in the programming process?
cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx




Solution:
A translator converts a program written in a high-
cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx

level language (human readable and writable) to an equivalent program in a low-
cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx

level language (machine readable and executable).

EXERCISE 1.3 CX



1. Describe what happens when the programmer enters the string "Greetings!" in the Python shell.
cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx




Solution:

Python reads the string "Greetings!", evaluates it, and displays this string (including single quot
cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx


es) in the shell.

2. Write a line of code that prompts the user for their name and saves the user’s input in a variable called
cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx


name.

Solution:
name= input("Enter your name: ")

4. Explain what goes on behind the scenes when your computer runs a Python program.
cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx




Solution:

If the program has not already been translated, Python’s compiler translates it to byte code. The Pytho
cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx cx

n virtual machine then executes this code.
