Across
- 6. Original code written by programmers that is to be compiled into a program
- 8. Translates high level language into machine language, like IDLE or VS Code
- 9. Predefined words used to write a program in a high level language
- 12. Easiest for programmers to work with, allows simple creation of programs
- 14. Central Processing Unit, part of the computer that actually runs the programs
- 15. Coding scheme compatible with ASCII, can represent characters for other languages
- 19. system Controls operations of hardware components
- 21. Data computers collect from people and other devices
- 22. language Impractical and too complicated for people to write in, which is why assembly languages are used
- 23. Person that codes and develops the software used on the computer
- 25. Perform operations on data, example would be math operators performing arithmetic
- 26. Temporary storage used by software. You never have enough of it to play the games you want
- 27. Translates and executes instructions in high level languages, used by Python
- 28. String of 8 bits made up of 0 or 1
- 29. Set of rules to be followed when writing a program, errors constantly tells me I stink at programming
- 30. Data produced by the computer for other people or devices
- 32. Set of instructions that a computer follows to perform a task
Down
- 1. Programs that control and manage basic operations of a computer
- 2. Displays the output, such as monitors or other video devices. Memory can also be considered an output device since data is sent to it to be saved
- 3. Program that translated the language into a machine language
- 4. Base 2 numbering system used by computers with 0 or 1 having a numerical place value of a power of 2
- 5. Closer in nature to machine language, difficult to work with and not very intuitive
- 7. Core of the binary number system, either a 1 or a 0
- 10. Basic idea of how a program works, instructions are fetched, then decoded to determine the operation that is to be performed, then executed
- 11. Permanent memory that is stored even if the PC is off. SSD, flash drives, optical disks
- 13. Easier for programmers to work with than machine language, used short words for instructions instead of binary
- 16. Not permanent, erased once program ends and PC is turned off
- 17. Hardware such as mouses or keyboards that feed information into the PC to be processed
- 18. Limited coding scheme for binary
- 20. Physical parts of the computer, like memory, CPU
- 24. Programs that make computer useful for every day tasks
- 31. Programs run by the computer to accomplish everyday tasks
