Local Architecture Network Local Apple Network Local Access Network Latam Airlines Group 4/20 An error that occurs during program execution, and causes the program to terminate abnormally or "crash" is called a Run-time Error Psuedocode Compile-time error Logical error 5/20 What is a gigabyte? 1024 megabytes 1024 bytes 1024 kilobytes 8 Bits 6/20 What defines what will happen when a statement is executed? Compiler Interpreter Semantics Syntax 7/20 What is digital? There are four levels of programming language: machine language, assembly language, high-level languages, and fourth-generation languages. Information broken into segments Series of 1's and 0's Allows the user to interact with the machine (i.e. to click on an icon, or delete a file) 8/20 What are reserved words? Define what will happen when a statement is executed Series of 1's and 0's Used to separate the words and symbols used in a program, consists of blanks, tabs, and newline characters Identifiers that have a special meaning in a programming language that can only be used in predefined ways 9/20 What is hardware? Instructions that computers read and execute; programs Physical components of the computer Stores programs and data being used, usually volatile 8 Bits 10/20 fetch-decode-execute Compiles code one line at a time an runs that line after it is compiled. Converts Java code into byte code that is run by the Java Virtual Machine A cycle, where an instruction is fetched from the main memory and put into instruction register. The program program counter increases to get ready for the n...
