    Study Notes

    Computer Fundamentals

    • Microprocessor is a single processor chip found in personal computers
    • DOS is an example of an operating system
    • Audio data is represented in computers
    • Data processing involves collecting, manipulating, and distributing data to achieve objectives
    • Data consists of raw facts, figures, and symbols
    • Readability is a characteristic of well-developed programs
    • Algorithms are expected to produce at least one result
    • Information is stored in binary form
    • Output devices are used to display results
    • Internet Explorer is an example of a web browser
    • Mainframe is an extremely fast computer
    • Storage devices are physical materials where data, instructions, and information are stored
    • Object-oriented programming (OOP) incorporates top-down development and modular design
    • A floppy disk is a flexible, circular medium for storing data
    • Software requires hardware to function

    Number Systems

    • One kilobyte is equal to 1024 bytes
    • (12)10 = (1100)2
    • (20)8 = (16)10
    • (2B)16 = (43)10
    • (1010)2 = (A)16
    • (010)2 = (2)8

    Computer Program Development Life Cycle

    • Problem definition is the first phase of the development cycle
    • Problem analysis follows problem definition
    • Algorithm is a third phase
