QUIZ #1 High-level programming languages were created to: - Make programming less error-prone and less tedious What are two of the most important benefits of the Python language? - Ease of use and portability What is a compilation - Takes high-level language and converts it into machine language. QUIZ #2 Are there problems that cannot be solved algorithmically? - Yes they are problems that cannot be solved algorithmically. Are problems that can be solved algorithmically efficiently solved? - No, even if a problem is solved algorithmically doesn’t mean it’s efficiently solved. What is an algorithm? - A series of well-defined steps used to solve a problem What is a syntax error? - Misspelled words, wrong characters, etc. What is an editor? - Allows program files to be entered and modified What is an interpreter - Reads and executes program files What is an operating system? - A program that runs on the computer and manages all activities on the computer What is a logic error? - A logic error doesn’t stop the program from executing but it produces incorrect results. In Python, how is a syntax error detected? - interpreter/a runtime
