Primary storage aka____ is what?
Temporary storage that is not saved when the computer turns off. E.g., RAM, virtual memory, and CPU registers.

internal vs external documentation
External documentation: For consumers. It includes installation guides
Internal documentation : For developers and their development teams.

What are files and what are the 2 types
Files are data that is stored on a computer. Typically this sits in secondary memory stores files (HDD and SSD). sequential and random-access.

What are the 2 types of design strategies?
Top down and bottom up

What are the 2 error correction techniques
Proactive techniques are done before an error occurs.
Reactive techniques are done after an error occurs.

What are the error types
Syntax errors, runtime errors,
division by zero (runtime), Logic errors (runtime), index out of bounds (runtime)

What is the difference between Interpreted and Compiled translation
one is converted sequentially, line by line. the other is all converted directly into machine code
400
What are the main stages of approaches
define, plan, build, test, maintain

List all of the abstraction methods
IPO tables
Data Flow Diagrams
Data dictionaries

All studied correction techniques
What are stubs, flags, debugging output statements, peerchecks, desk check?
500
What is Compiled translation and it pros and cons (there is 1 of each)
All code is converted directly into machine code.
Tend to be more efficient than interpreted languages when running.
You need to recompile the code every time a change is made.

Iterative Design vs Incremental Design
Iterative Design: A cycle is repeated until it's finished and another one starts.
Incremental Design: Requirements divided into multiple standalone modules of the software development cycle. Every subsequent release of the module adds function to the previous release.
