- 6. the set of instructions, or a system of rules, written in a particular programming language
- 7. the logic circuitry that responds to and processes the basic instructions that drive a computer
- 8. the transformation of the input data to a more meaningful form (information) in the CPU
- 9. a unit of data that is eight binary digits long. A byte is the unit most computers use to represent a character such as a letter, number, or typographic symbol. Each byte can hold a string of bits that need to be used in a larger unit for application purposes.
- 11. a specific unit of data that's equal to about 1 billion bytes of data.
- 14. a learning environment with no physical location and in which the instructors and students are separated by space
- 15. to provide or give something to the computer
- 18. the equivalent of one quintillion bytes, one billion gigabytes or one million terabytes
- 21. the process of converting code into plain text or any format that is useful for subsequent processes.
- 22. an electronic device for storing and processing data, typically in binary form, according to instructions given to it in a program.
- 23. the use or operating of computers
- 27. a general term for an online message board where you can leave messages and expect to see responses.
- 28. the smallest unit of data that a computer can process and store. A bit is always in one of two physical states, similar to an on/off light switch. The state is represented by a single binary value, usually a 0 or 1.
- 30. equivalent to one million million bytes.
- 31. System program that manages a computer's resources, especially the allocation of those resources among other programs
Down
- 1. The American Standard Code for Information Interchange is a standard table of seven-bit designations for digital representation of uppercase and lowercase Roman letters, numbers and special control characters in teletype, computer and word processor systems.
- 2. a document explaining constraints and practices that a user must agree to for access to a corporate internet network.
- 3. a regularly updated website or web page, typically one run by an individual or small group, that is written in an informal or conversational style.
- 4. a software application that provides the framework that handles all aspects of learning
- 5. a process through which digital data is saved within a data storage device by means of computing technology
- 10. Mining the process of discovering interesting and useful patterns and relationships in large volumes of data.
- 12. equivalent to one million gigabytes.
- 13. equivalent to 1,000 bytes. It is the smallest unit of measure greater than a byte.
- 16. equivalent to one sextillion bytes.
- 17. information that has been translated into a form that is efficient for movement or processing
- 19. data that a computer sends
- 20. the process of putting a sequence of characters (letters, numbers, punctuation, and certain symbols) into a specialized format for efficient transmission or storage. Encoding is the reverse of decoding.
- 24. equivalent to one million bytes of data.
- 25. – relating to, composed of, or involving two things
- 26. a website that allows collaborative editing of its content and structure by its users.
- 29. device that is used to store data or programs (sequences of instructions) on a temporary or permanent basis for use in an electronic digital computer
