RAM is your system's short-term memory. Whenever your computer performs calculations, it temporarily stores the data in the RAM until it is needed.

This short-term memory disappears when the computer is turned off. If you're working on a document, spreadsheet, or other type of file, you'll need to save it to avoid losing it. When you save a file, the data is written to the hard drive, which acts as long-term storage.

RAM is measured in ______________ and _______________. The more RAM you have, the more things your computer can do at the same time. If you don't have enough RAM, you may notice that your computer is sluggish when you have several programs open. Because of this, many people add extra RAM to their computers to improve performance.

Запитання 26

How is a laptop different from a desktop?

Because laptops are designed for portability, there are some important differences between them and desktop computers. A laptop has an all-in-one design, with a built-in monitorkeyboardtouchpad (which replaces the mouse), and speakers. This means it is fully functional, even when no peripherals are connected. A laptop is also quicker to set up, and there are fewer cables to get in the way.

You'll also have to the option to connect a regular mouse, larger monitor, and other peripherals. This basically turns your laptop into a desktop computer, with one main difference: You can easily disconnect the peripherals and take the laptop with you wherever you go.

Choose five main differences you can expect with a laptop.

варіанти відповідей

Touchpad: A touchpad—also called a trackpad—is a touch-sensitive pad that lets you control the pointer by making a drawing motion with your finger.

Battery: Every laptop has a battery, which allows you to use the laptop when it's not plugged in. Whenever you plug in the laptop, the battery recharges. Another benefit of having a battery is that it can provide backup power to the laptop if the power goes out.

AC adapter: A laptop usually has a specialized power cable called an AC adapter, which is designed to be used with that specific type of laptop.

Ports: Most laptops have the same types of ports found on desktop computers (such as USB), although they usually have fewer ports to save space. However, some ports may be different, and you may need an adapter in order to use them.

Price: Generally speaking, laptops tend to be more expensive than a desktop computer with the same internal components. While you may find that some basic laptops cost less than desktop computers, these are usually much less powerful machines.

Different computing experience. The most obvious difference is that tablet computers don't have keyboards or touchpads. Instead, the entire screen is touch-sensitive, allowing you to type on a virtual keyboard and use your finger as a mouse pointer.

Standard features include a high-quality digital camera and the ability to play digital music and video files.

Запитання 33

Computer code is essentially a list of instructions that can be run by a certain program. Most code consists of plain-text documents so they can be used for many different programs. A unique file extension is given to the document to indicate the nature of the code. For example, a file created using Python is saved with a .py extension, like 'myprogram.py.' However, the actual content of the file is still just plain text.

Because most code is in plain text, you can write code using a basic word processor or text editor. However, it is much more effective to use a software application that is specifically designed for coding in a particular language. For example, when you write a document in plain English, you would use word processor software, which can assist you with things such as formatting, spelling, and grammar. Similarly, a code editor provides tools such as syntax checking. Syntax is to code what spelling and grammar are to writing English.

A code editor is also called an ___________, or IDE. An IDE is a software application for formatting your code, checking syntax, as well as running and testing your code. Some IDEs can work with multiple programming languages, while some are very specific for only one language.

Запитання 35

The control unit of the central processing unit _____ __ ____ the operations of the computer. It selects and retrieves instructions from the main memory in proper sequence and interprets them so as to activate the other functional elements of the system at the appropriate moment to perform their respective operations. All input data are transferred via the main memory to the arithmetic-logic unit for processing, which involves the four basic arithmetic functions (i.e., addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) and certain logic operations such as the comparing of data and the selection of the desired problem-solving procedure or a viable alternative based on predetermined decision criteria.
