Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

25. Language that interfaces directly with the operating system. It indicates when and how application programs will be processed.






26. It is the ancestor of the family of functional languages that emphasize evaluating expressions rather than executing imperative commands.






27. In order to translate a program written in a high-level language into machine code a(n) _________ is used






28. Source code may be converted into an executable image by a(n) ______________






29. a popular compiled high-level language - similar to C but witho bject-oriented features (classes) generic programming (templates) and exception handlingwith - developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1985 at Bell Labs






30. It is a high-level compiled language built upon ALGOL. It is best known for its emphasis on structured programming techniques and strong typing; because of this it was extremely popular as a teaching language in the 1980s and early 1990s though it wa






31. In machine language the symbol for a base register is ____






32. It examines a source program statement by statement - and the resulting machine language instructions are immediately executed before the next statement is examined.






33. A _________ _________ is a set of print statements or screen-display statements whose output enables a programmer to follow a computer's processing path during execution






34. A Language with a very precise structure that is particularly good for training serious programmers; is procedural and is based on ALGOL






35. This generation of languages - easier to read - procedural - portable - e.g. COBOL or C or C++ or Pascal or Python






36. The program that translate a source program (high level language) into an object program.






37. The purpose of symbols in assembly language is to represent _________ locations






38. It is an interpreted language designed principally to process text - often used for web CGI scripts and parsing log files.






39. Divisions of COBOL programs: data and identification and _________






40. It was created in the late 1950s - most modern procedural languages reflect its overall structure and design
