Question 6

Case-Based Critical Thinking Questions Case 13-2 Kelly is a college sophomore majoring in computer science. She is interested in gaining exposure to the most useful and current programming languages and techniques. During the summer, Kelly will be writing a compiler as part of a research project. To prepare, she is learning ____, a functional language.
A) C
B) Java
C) Visual Basic
D) Scheme

Accepted Answer

Scheme is a functional language that is commonly used for educational purposes and is known for its simplicity and ease of use. It is similar in some ways to other functional languages such as Haskell and Lisp. Learning Scheme will likely give Kelly exposure to many useful programming techniques, especially in the area of functional programming. C is a procedural language, Java is an object-oriented language, and Visual Basic is a more specialized language primarily used for Windows programming. None of these languages are functional, which means they are not the best fit for Kelly's current needs.

Question 7

The earliest programming languages are referred to as ____.
A) low-level languages
B) third-generation programming languages (3GLs)
C) procedural programming languages
D) interpreted languages

Accepted Answer

The earliest programming languages are referred to as low-level languages because they were closer to the binary code that the computer could understand. These languages required a deeper understanding of computer hardware and were more difficult to program in than modern high-level languages.

Question 8

____ was developed to enable Web authors to implement interactive content on Web sites, such as to animate an item, or pop up a window to point to an item.
A) JavaScript
B) PHP
C) Java
D) Perl

Accepted Answer

JavaScript was specifically developed for implementing interactive content on websites, such as animations and pop-ups. PHP, Java, and Perl are used for server-side programming and may have interactive capabilities, but they are not specifically designed for it like JavaScript is.

Question 9

Case-Based Critical Thinking Questions Case 13-2 Kelly is a college sophomore majoring in computer science. She is interested in gaining exposure to the most useful and current programming languages and techniques. One of the languages that Kelley is learning is ____, an object-oriented programming language that is commonly used to write Web applications.
A) C
B) Java
C) Visual Basic
D) COBOL

Accepted Answer

Java is an object-oriented programming language commonly used to write Web applications. C is a procedural programming language, Visual Basic is a Microsoft programming language, and COBOL is primarily used for business applications.

Question 10

With about 85% of all business transactions being processed by ____ and about 200 billion lines of ____ code still in use today, knowing ____ could set an IT job applicant apart from the crowd..
A) Basic
B) Assembly
C) COBOL
D) FORTRAN

Accepted Answer

The statement suggests that COBOL is a widely used programming language for business transactions and has a significant amount of code still in use. Knowing COBOL could therefore differentiate a job applicant in the IT industry. Options A, B, and D are not mentioned in the statement, so they are not the best choices.

Question 11

Each phase of the ____________________ produces some type of documentation to pass on to the next phase.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Each phase of the ____________________ produces some...

Question 12

____ is the language used by students taking the Advanced Placement (AP) Computer Science exam.
A) FORTRAN
B) Java
C) COBOL
D) Pascal

Accepted Answer

The language used by students taking the AP Computer Science exam is Java. The other options (FORTRAN, COBOL, Pascal) are all older programming languages that are not as commonly used or taught in modern computer science education.

Question 13

____ was created to fill the need for a teaching tool to encourage structured programming.
A) COBOL
B) Pascal
C) BASIC
D) FORTRAN

Accepted Answer

Pascal was created by Niklaus Wirth in 1970 to serve as a language for teaching structured programming. It was intended to encourage good programming practices and was simpler and more structured than other languages available at the time.

Question 14

____ is a set of rules for exchanging data over the Web.
A) FORTRAN
B) HTML
C) XML
D) Java

Accepted Answer

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. It is commonly used for exchanging data over the Web.

Question 15

Case-Based Critical Thinking Questions Case 13-1 The Rainbow Trout Company specializes in developing software that is used by amateur and professional fishermen with a wide variety of needs. As such, the company often work on projects with constantly changing requirements. The Rainbow Trout Company maintains a database of clients. To search through this database, they use ____, a 4GL.
A) SQL
B) COBOL
C) C
D) Java

Accepted Answer

SQL (Structured Query Language) is a 4GL (Fourth Generation Language) used for managing relational databases. It is specifically designed for querying and manipulating data stored in a database. Therefore, using SQL as a database search tool is the best choice for the Rainbow Trout Company to search through their database of clients. COBOL, C, and Java are programming languages that are not specifically designed for querying and manipulating data stored in a database.

Question 16

____________________ charts depict the overall organization of a structured program.

The answer of ____________________ charts depict the overall organization of...

Question 17

____ are most often used to create Web pages and Web applications.
A) Object-oriented  languages
B) Aspect-oriented  languages
C) Markup languages
D) XL languages

Accepted Answer

Markup languages such as HTML, XML, and XHTML are specifically designed to create and format content for the web. Object-oriented or aspect-oriented languages can be used for web development but are not necessarily specific to it, while XL languages do not exist.

Question 18

High-level object-oriented programming languages include C++, C#, Java, Dart, and ____.
A) Pascal
B) Fortran
C) COBOL
D) Python

Accepted Answer

Pascal, Fortran, and COBOL are not considered high-level object-oriented programming languages in comparison to C++, C#, Java, and Python. Python is a popular high-level object-oriented programming language, making option D the best choice.

Question 19

Fourth-generation languages (4GLs) are sometimes called ____.
A) procedural programming languages
B) very-high-level languages
C) high-level languages
D) interpreted languages

Accepted Answer

Fourth-generation languages (4GLs) are very-high-level languages that are designed to be more user-friendly and closer to natural language than previous generations of programming languages. They are often used for database management systems and other data-intensive applications. Procedural programming languages (A) are a type of programming language that uses a step-by-step approach to solve problems. High-level languages (C) are a broad category of programming languages that are at a higher level of abstraction than assembly languages and machine languages. Interpreted languages (D) are programming languages that execute instructions directly, rather than compiling them into machine code first.

Question 20
