PROGRAMMING & LOGIC LESSON 1 & 2- COMPUTER
SCIENCE.
Trusted by students across multiple disciplines!
Assembly Language - Answer: A human-like language the computer uses to
communicate directly with hardware.
Binary - Answer: Number system or base-2 numeral system which represents numeric
values using two different symbols: typically 0 and 1. Also known as the machine
language.
Bits - Answer: The binary system uses zeroes (off) and ones (on) in a sequence to
represent data. A binary digit represents the state of one switch, which is the smallest
unit.
Bytes - Answer: A series of eight bits, zeros and ones, that represent the basic unit of
data a computer processes.
Compiler - Answer: A piece of software that translates a programming language into
machine language.
Data - Answer: Information that is stored and processed by a computer, represented as
bytes that are in turn composed of bits.
Execute - Answer: To perform an instruction or program.
High-level Language - Answer: Programming languages used by humans to create
code. It is translated into the machine language by the compiler.
Instructions - Answer: An order given to a computer by a program.
