Flashcards

What is EPROM?

EPROM stands for Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory. It is a type of memory chip used for ROM that can be erased and reprogrammed.

How many times does loop execute?

The loop executes 5 times. The loop starts with count = 0 and continues as long as count is less than or equal to 4. Therefore, the loop runs for count = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, which is a total of 5 times.

Reset file attribute after backup?

The archive attribute is reset after a full backup is run on a computer system. This indicates that the file has been backed up.

Examples of selection?

Case and If-Then-Else are examples of selection statements, allowing different code paths based on conditions.
