Answer Stats

Definition	Term	% Correct
">"	Greater than	76%
"<"	Less than	76%
Translates entire source program to object program only once, returning syntax errors if any. Examples: Java, C++	Compiler	73%
"=" / "=="	Equal to	73%
"Grammar"/Rules of statement construction in programming language	Syntax	72%
">="	Greater than or equal to	71%
"<="	Less than or equal to	71%
Stores data element, which can be changed during execution, of program. Has name and type i.e. int age;	Variable	71%
"≠" / "!="	Not equal to	68%
Like above but cannot be modified during execution. Example: final double PI = 3.14159;	Constant	54%
Unlike above, reads and translates one line of source program at a time. Examples: BASIC, Python	Interpreter	53%
Variable that is visible to entire program	Global variable	43%
"%" / "mod"	Remainder	43%
Produces informations then returns value	Function	42%
Commands/Words with special meanings. Examples: import, int, static	Keywords	42%
Only language understood directly by computer, made of 1s and 0s => hard to write, debug, and maintain.	Machine language	39%
Has data and actions/methods.	Object	39%
Unlike above, has limited scope	Local variable	37%
Performs calculations i.e. "+", "-", "*", "/", "%"	Operator	37%
Translates above to machine code	Assembler	35%
Unlike above, allows development of instructions and reference to address locations with mnemonics; program development is easier but each language supports only one specific computer system.	Assembly language	33%
May (get) or may not (void) return value	Method	32%
Passed into method, function, or procedure	Argument	29%
Information used in method, function, or procedure	Parameter	29%
Visibility of variable, i.e. specific part(s) of algorithm, such as a loop, that can access and retrieve data of variable.	Scope	29%
Uses elements of natural language => easy to use, facilitates abstraction; program development is simpler, faster, and more understandable	High-level language	28%
"/" / "div"	Integer part of {quotient}	23%
Meaning of code/construction of programming language	Semantics	18%
Combinations of above. Example: Finding maximum of four numbers	{Compound} operations	15%
Small section of program customized by programmer to perform a particular task.	Module	15%
Basic abilities of computer: Add, Compare, Retrieve, Store	{Fundamental} operations	13%
.class file compiled from Java source code. Fed into interpreter afterwards.	Java Virtual Machine bytecode	13%
Consists of multiple elements - which may be duplicate - such as objects and values, and comes with necessary operations/methods, such as add and remove, that programmer can immediately use to manipulate data. Example: ArrayList	Collection	10%
Simply performs task or executes commands	Procedure	10%
Handles code function on hardware platform.	Java Virtual Machine (JVM)	3%
Allows programmers to save time by taking advantage of existing code developed either by themselves or other programmers.	Code reuse	1%
Contains sequence of instructions that perform specific and predefined task. More than one of this may be contained in software libraries that can be used by programs. Three examples below.	Sub-program	1%
