CISC 101 T/F (All Correct)

The ENIAC computer was remarkable in that it weighed less than 20 pounds and could be carried in a backpack. correct answers F Modern computers can only operate in binary at their most fundamental level because transistors, which are the basis of a CPU, can only be "on" or "off". correct answers T The word "computer" was used to describe the job position of the female operators of the ENIAC. correct answers T Modern transistors are made from doped aluminum. correct answers F A full bit adder can be constructed using two transistors and a resistor. correct answers F Transistors in an OR gate are wired in series (one after the other). correct answers F When describing computer architecture, the term RAM stands for "Random Accidental Memory". correct answers F An early step in the construction of an integrated circuit the growth and refining of a large single crystal of semiconducting material. correct answers T The acronym "CPU" stands fro "Central Processing Unit". correct answers T Computer instructions must be translated to binary (base 2) before they can be processed. correct answers T The ENIAC was built to aid in the war effort in the mid 1940's. correct answers T A NOT gate can be constructed from one transistor and a resistor. correct answers T "Volatile" memory like RAM cannot hold any information when it is not powered. correct answers T ROM memory is volatile. correct answers F Guido van Rossum still maintains creative control over Python. correct answers T Python commands must be interpreted before they can be executed. correct answers T A programmer must understand assembly language in order to write Python code. correct answers F The python language was named after the snake. correct answers F`
