Question 1

An application programming interface (API)provides a set of tools for software development for a particular platform.

Accepted Answer

An API indeed provides a set of tools for software development for a particular platform. It defines protocols, routines, and tools for building software applications, and specifies how software components should interact.

Question 2

The use of logic,algorithms,and programming languages to create instructions for computer hardware is called normalizing.

Accepted Answer

The use of logic, algorithms, and programming languages to create instructions for computer hardware is called programming, not normalizing.

Question 3

With the help of ____,less experienced programmers can develop applications for mobile devices such as the iPhone.&#10;A) SDKs&#10;B) Android&#10;C) Windows 8&#10;D) Visual Studio

Accepted Answer

SDKs (Software Development Kits) provide a set of tools, APIs, and documentation to developers so they can easily build mobile applications for specific platforms. In this case, the iOS SDK can be used to develop applications for the iPhone. It simplifies the development process and provides resources for less experienced programmers to build successful applications.

Question 4

Object-oriented programming languages are no longer used by software developers.

Accepted Answer

Object-oriented programming languages are still widely used by software developers, such as Java, Python, C++, and others. These programming languages have proven to be efficient and effective for developing complex software applications.

Question 5

____ development is the systematic process of transforming an idea into functional software.&#10;A) SDK&#10;B) Execution&#10;C) Model&#10;D) Software

Accepted Answer

Software development is the process of converting an idea into software code or program. It involves various stages such as planning, designing, coding, testing, and maintenance to create functional software that meets the desired requirements. SDK refers to Software Development Kit, which is a collection of software development tools to create applications for a specific platform. Execution is the process of running software or code to perform a specific function. Model refers to a diagram or representation of a system that helps to understand its functionality. Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

Question 6

There are ____ stages in the software development life cycle.&#10;A) two&#10;B) three&#10;C) four&#10;D) five

Accepted Answer

The software development life cycle typically consists of five stages: requirements gathering and analysis, design, implementation or coding, testing, and maintenance.

Question 7

A(n)____ is a set of instructions or statements to the computer.&#10;A) IDE&#10;B) computer program&#10;C) iProgram&#10;D) API

Accepted Answer

A computer program is a set of instructions or statements that tell a computer what to do. An IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development and API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of subroutine definitions, protocols, and tools for building software and applications. iProgram is not a commonly used term in computer programming.

Question 8

Each programming language has a particular ____- rules that guide how programming statements are constructed.&#10;A) syntax&#10;B) SDK&#10;C) toolbox&#10;D) heuristic

Accepted Answer

Syntax refers to the rules and guidelines for creating programming statements within a specific language. SDK (Software Development Kit) is a collection of software development tools in one installable package. Toolbox and heuristic are not related to programming language syntax.

Question 9

System software assists computer hardware with the work it is designed to do.

Accepted Answer

System software is designed to coordinate and control the hardware resources of a computer system, including the CPU, memory, storage, and input/output devices. It provides a layer of abstraction between the hardware and application software, making it easier for developers to write programs that can efficiently use the available resources. Examples of system software include operating systems, device drivers, firmware, and utility programs.

Question 10

Programmers create ____ and compilers turn it/them into ____.&#10;A) object code,source code&#10;B) syntax,source code&#10;C) source code,object code&#10;D) variables,strings

Accepted Answer

Programmers create source code, which is then translated into machine code by compilers to generate executable code or object code. Object code is a low-level representation of the program that can be directly executed by the computer's processor. Therefore, option C is the correct choice. Options A, B, and D are not correct as they are not related to the process of creating and converting code.

Question 11

Making changes to a software program after it has been released is referred to as the ____ stage of the development cycle.&#10;A) implementation&#10;B) problem solving&#10;C) design&#10;D) maintenance

Accepted Answer

The answer of Making changes to a software program after...

Question 12

A(n)____ allows others besides the manufacturer to develop software to run on the system or device.&#10;A) API&#10;B) EPI&#10;C) SPI&#10;D) BPI

Accepted Answer
