Chapter 10 : programming languages
Exercises
A. Answer the following questions!
1. How do we understand the nature of the computer and they way it operates?
Answer : Most courses in programming begin with a lesson on the binary system,
although most programmers seldom have to use the binary numbers in actual practice
2. What helps us take the mystery of the computers?
Answer: Understanding the binary system and its correspondence to the switches inside
the machine helps to take the mystery out of computers
3. What is the name of series of electrical impulses to which the machine reacts ?
Answer: machine language
4. Why do most programmers use one or more of the standard programming languages to
prepare their program?
Answer: OBOL, ALGOL. PL. and APL FORTRAN is used primarily for scientific
work, and COBOL is used for most commercial applications.
5. What is used in the programming languages?
Answer: COBOL dan FORTRAN
6. What is FORTRAN primarily used for?
Answer: is used primarily for scientific work
7. What is COBOL primarily used for?
Answer: is used for most commercial applications
8. What language is used for general-purpose programming?
Answer: PL/1
9. What language does the computer can react?
Answer: binary numbers
10. How does a compiler work in the computer?
Answer: The compiler takes each instruction in the program and translates it into
machine language that is, into a binary equivalent
11. What does COBOL stand for?
Answer: common business-oriented language
12. What type of business problem is COBOL usually used for?
Answer: It is used for problems that do not involve a great deal of mathematical
manipulation but do involve data collection and processing FORTRAN, on the other
hand, is based on mathematical principles In stand for formula translation, it is used
primarily for solving scientific problems particu Jarly those involving a great deal of
mathematical calculation
13. What does FORTRAN stand for?
Answer : FORTRAN, on the other hand, is based on mathematical principles In stand
for formula translation, it is used primarily for solving scientific problems particu Jarly
those involving a great deal of mathematical calculation
14. Although most programmers have experience in several languages, why do they generally
specialize in one programming language?
Answer: This is because each language has many intricates and peculiarities that make
it necessary for a programmer to use the one in which he special izes constantly in order
to do an efficient job.
15. What are source programs?
Answer: Programs written in a programming language are referred
16. What are object programs?
Answer: The same programs
17. What are application programs?
Answer: Programs that are designed to solve specific problems in business or science
18. What does a system program function?
Answer: which direct the processing and also organize and coordinate the flow
throughout the entire computer system, including the input/output and secondary
storage devices.
19. What is JCL? Explain its functions!
Answer : which stands for job control language. JCL is used for the programs that
control the central processing unit and the entire computer system as well
20. What is the linkage editor?
Answer : If it happens that Mr. Pratt's program requires information that is on a disk,
for example, the system must look for this and join it to the object module
21. Explain what load module is!
Answer : After this step is completed, we have a program that can be executed that is
called the load module. The load module is simply the object module together with any
other data that are needed to carry out the program. The compiler, linkage editor, and
other systems programs are written in JCL.
22. Why is it an advantage for a programmer to have experience in some Other fields?
Answer : When he can combine technical expertise with programming, he will be able to
move ahead into work that is particularly rewarding to him.
B. Cross T for the true statements and F for the false !
1. Binary numbers are rarely used in preparing programs.
T = Because most programmers seldom have to use the binary numbers in actual practice.
2. It is the programmer who is going to control and direct the machine.
T = Because Above all, it is the programmer who must realize that the machine is controlled by
human beings and that he is the one who is going to control and direct it.
3. The machine cannot react to the standard programming languages directly.
T = Because We know that the machine reacts to series of electrical impulses that can be
represented in binary numbers.
4. It is the compiler which translates each instruction in the program into binary equivalent.
T = Because The compiler takes each instruction in the program and translates it into machine
language that is, into a binary equivalent.
5. Having been stored in the main storage, all data are then translated into binary code.
F = Because all data are translated into binary code before being stored in main storage It
would.
6. The most common of programming languages are mostly used for commercial and scientific work
T = Because There are many programming languages. They are known by such names as
FORTRAN. COBOL, ALGOL. PL. and APL FORTRAN is used primarily for scientific work,
and COBOL is used for most commercial applications.
7. Computer can understand the statements of the programming languages directly.
F = Because Ia memahami melalui penerjemah, seperti halnya seorang diplomat Amerika di
PBB berkomunikasi dengan seorang diplomat China melalui seorang penerjemah.
8. All of the standard programming languages have the same compiler.
F = Because There is a separate compiler for each of the standard programming languages
9. Programs written in JCL are called source program.
T = Because Programs written in a programming language are referred to as source programs.
10. It is the application program that manage the input and output.
F = Because system programs, which direct the processing and also organize and coordinate the
flow throughout the entire computer system, including the input/output and secondary storage
devices.
11. Programmers who writes programs in JCL are usually called system programmers.
T = Because JCL program mers are frequently known as systems programmers
