CMIS 310 Exam 3 Study Guide || A Verified A+ Pass.
Compiler correct answers A program that translates code in a high-level language (such as Java)
to machine instructions (such as bytecode for the Java virtual machine).
Object Code correct answers The output of the compiler after it translates the program. It's a set
of instruction codes that is understood by a computer at the lowest hardware level.
Link Editor correct answers Searches an object code file for external function calls. When one is
found, it searches other object code files or compiler libraries to find executable code that
implements the function.
Machine Languages (AKA 1st-Generation Language/1GL) correct answers Binary CPU
instructions, which were the earliest programming languages. People have a hard time
remembering and controlling long strings of binary digits. They had to remember the binary
codes representing each CPU instruction and specify all operands as binary numbers.
Assembly Language (AKA 2nd-Generation Language/2GL) correct answers A programming
language that uses mnemonics (short character sequences) to represent CPU instructions and
memory addresses.
5th-Generation Language (5GL) correct answers Contains nonprocedural rules that mimic the
rules people use to solve problems.
5GL Rules correct answers The rules describe valid moves and unsafe states; for example, the
chicken and corn can't be left without the farmer because the chicken would eat the corn. The
program prints messages to describe the rules it applies and moves it makes to solve the problem.
Variable correct answers A mnemonic representing a DATA INTEL'S memory address.
Label correct answers A mnemonic representing a PROGRAM INSTRUCTION'S memory
address.
________ is usually produced by a compiler that reads some higher level computer language
source instructions and translates them into equivalent machine language instructions. correct
answers Object code
Java Virtual Machine (JVM) correct answers Software that allows a Java program to run on a
wide variety of operating systems, like CPU instructions. It's a compiler that translates Java
source code into machine instructions.
Computer-Assisted Software Engineering (CASE) Tools correct answers Refers to tools that
support the design and implementation of design systems.
Key Feature of a CASE Tool correct answers Support most of or all of the system development
activities including translation.
, Front-End CASE Tools correct answers A computer-aided software tool that provides support
for the planning, analysis, and design phases of the SDLC. It primarily supports model
development.
Back-End CASE Tools correct answers A computer-aided software tool that provides support for
the coding and implementation phases of the SDLC. It mainly supports the application
development.
Compiler Library correct answers A file containing related executable functions and an index of
the library contents.
Compiler Library Process correct answers When the link editor finds executable code in a library
or another object code file, it inserts the executable code into the original object code file and
generates instructions to copy parameters and the function's return value.
Compiler Library Result correct answers A single file containing only executable code. If the
link editor can't find executable code for an external function call, it generates an error message
and produces no executable file.
Benchmark correct answers A measure of CPU or computer performance when carrying out one
or more specific tasks
Benchmark Uses correct answers Used to compare the performance of multiple computers,
measure a computer's performance and determine how to improve it, and determine the computer
or system configuration that meets an application's requirements.
Encryption correct answers The method by which information is converted into secret code that
hides the information's true meaning.
Intranet correct answers A private network contained within an enterprise that is used to securely
share company information and computing resources among employees.
Virtualization correct answers A combination of software, hardware, and networking
technologies that enable a single physical computer to act as though it were multiple independent
computers.
Virtual Machine (VM) correct answers Software that simulates the hardware of a physical
computer, creating one or more logical machines within one physical machine.
Virtual Machine Facts correct answers -A user can install an operating system and other system
and application software, called client software, on a VM and interact with the VM as though it
were a physical computer.
-To the client software, the VM behaves exactly like a physical computer.
