Network Devices Comparison Quiz

A procedural programming language used for system programming and application development.

An object-oriented programming language used for diverse applications, including games and performance-critical tasks.

Programming tasks involved directly with operating systems and hardware.

Building software for specific user tasks, like games.

A programming style that structures processes into a series of steps.

The process of converting source code into executable code.

Code written by a programmer in a programming language.

Code ready for a computer to run.

Result of compilation; A file that can be run by a computer.

This stage in a project typically involves meetings and discussions among stakeholders to clarify requirements and resolve any issues.

People involved in a project, such as developers, designers, clients, and managers.

To ensure everyone understands what the project needs to accomplish.

To find solutions to any problems or disagreements that arise during the project.

Formal gatherings where stakeholders discuss and make decisions about the project.

A traditional data storage method where magnetic bits are aligned along the length of the recording medium.

A newer method that aligns magnetic bits perpendicularly to the recording medium, improving storage density.

The amount of data that can be stored in a given physical space.

No, longitudinal recording does not inherently improve data access speed compared to newer technologies like perpendicular recording.

No, longitudinal recording does not inherently increase reliability compared to newer technologies like perpendicular recording.

The process where a processor retrieves an instruction, processes it, and then moves on to the next.

A command that tells the processor to perform a specific task.

The brain of a computer, responsible for executing instructions.

To carry out the actions specified by an instruction.

The processor moves on to the next instruction in the sequence.

A process that rewrites the physical structure of a disk, erasing all data and preparing it for use. This is typically done once during manufacturing or when repurposing the disk.

The permanent deletion of information from a storage device. This can happen due to various factors, including low-level formatting.

Regular activities performed to keep a disk healthy and efficient. Examples include defragmentation, error-checking, and cleaning up temporary files.

Reusing an existing disk drive for a different purpose, often involving reformatting.

No. Low-level formatting is typically done only once during the disk's manufacturing or when repurposing it. Regularly performing this process would lead to data loss and isn't necessary for standard maintenance tasks.
