Find answers below.

Explanation:

1. True: The American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) is a code that allows people to read information on a computer. It is used for representing numbers through 128 English characters.

2. True: a program is the set of instructions a computer obeys to perform a specific task.

3. A flash drive, dvd, and hard drive are all examples of: storage device. They are used for storing data, informations and instructions.

4. An example of an Input device is: a keyboard. An input device can be defined as any device that is typically used for sending data to a computer system.

5. There are 8 bits are in a byte; 1 byte = 8 bits.

In Computer science, a bit is a short word for the term binary digit and is primarily the basic (smallest) unit measurement of data or information. A bit is a logical state which represents a single binary value of either one (1) or zero (0).

6. The part of the computer that processes all the inputs and outputs is the: central processing unit (CPU).

Match the word to its definition:

a. Desktop: an individual’s personal computer that resides on a desk or table.

b. Notebook: a small portable computer, such as a netbook.

c. Smart phone: a device that includes, text, and data capabilities.

d. Supercomputer: a large and powerful scientific computer that can process large amounts of data quickly.

e. Program: the coded instructions that tell a computer what to do; also to write the code for a program.

f. Tablet: computer that combines the features of a graphic tablet with the functions of a personal computer; sometimes called a tablet PC.

g. Computer: is a machine that changes information from one form into another by performing four basic actions.

h. Mainframe: a type of computer used by many people at the same time to allow access to the same secure data.

8. The four functions of a computer are:

processing, input, output and storage.

9. An example of an Output device is: monitor. An output device can be defined as a hardware device that typically receives processed data from the central processing unit (CPU) and converts these data into information that can be used by the end user of a computer system.

10. The parts of a computer:

keyboard and mouse.

11. False: storage device is both input and output together. A storage device is a hardware device used for holding data (informations) either permanently or temporarily.
