Computer Languages
Computer language consisting of ones and zeroes
What is machine language?
Only requires two numbers: 0 and 1
What is the binary number system?
Can be represented in bit-map and vector.
What are graphics?
A graphic representation of the step-by-step instructions of how the computer processes data
What are flow charts?
Can be a simple or complex procedure
What are algorithms?
Allows programmers to write faster than using machine language
Can be in the form of figures, texts, images or other types of information
What is data?
Refers to the number of bits needed to display the color of each pixel
What is bit depth?
Start > Read Birth Date > Calculate Age=Current Year- Birth Date > Display age > End
Linear algorithm flowchart example
Can be performed in multiple algorithms
Computer writing application programs that solve specific problems
A 7 bit code allowing 128 characters
What is ASCII?
Are displayed as a matrix of pixels
What are bit-mapped graphics?
Assistant Brand Manager: Caroline Huang-Loggains.
Graphic Designer: Melody Rowell.
Brand Manager: Megan O'Quinn
What is an acknowledgement?
Set of computer instructions following down a list
What is linear algorithm?
Used for managing memory, processes, device drivers, data transfer, and operating systems
What are system languages?
Are in the range of 00-FF (0-255 in decimal).
What are hexadecimal numbers?
Depends on the resolution and bit depth
What is size of an image?
Includes not only the actual writing of code, but also the preparation of objects, the planning of what is to be coded and the approval of the final results
What is software development
Set of computer instructions which executes steps in iterations
What is iterative algorithm?
Computer language that looks like ordinary human languages
What are high-level languages?
Occupies more space than ASCII
What is unicode?
An advantage of this is that objects can be grouped to create larger objects
