Why you need compiler?
You don't need if you don't want to develop computer programs. But if you want you should use it, for you can not make programs without a compiler. Compiler is the programs that makes the computer program out of the code
What do you call the commands that tell the computer what to do?
Commands that a computer can run vary from the level from which the commands were run from.In the most general form, commands to a computer, more specifically to the microprocessor or processor of the computer are called as assembly level instructions. They are complex and directly address the processor telling what to do.A level below the assembly level instructions are know as the machine code or OP Code. They are the ones that assembly level language is translated into.At a higher level, They are called as Programs. They are executed or run by using the computer's operating system, and simplify work for you.Programs themselves are created by using what is called as a computer programming language. They are specialized languages that a computer understands and a programmer codes to instruct the computer to perform certain tasks.
What are programs that tell the computer what to do?
All programs tell the computer what to do, that is the primary purpose of programs. The program (more accurately -set- of programs) which is the mother of all programs & gives the user direct control over the computer is called the "operating system"
Diff bw risc and cisc?
CISC stands for Complex Instruction Set Computer. CISC chips are relatively slow per instruction,but use little instructions RISC stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computer. A fewer, simpler and faster instructions would be better, than the large, complex and slower CISC instructions. However, more instructions are needed to accomplish a task. It's easier to write powerful optimised compilers, since fewer instructions exist.
What would the bootstrap do?
"Bootstrapping" is long for "booting", which is simply a technique by which a simple computer program activates a more complicated system of programs.
How can you delete programs on your computer?
Programs can be deleted like any other file on your computer. This is because a program is nothing more than one or more files written in a special way, which provide step-by-step instructions to your computer's processor. These instructions, when done correctly, result in what you see a program 'doing' on your computer screen. This is true for all operating systems. What differs between them, however, is how/where the applications are stored, and therefore how one would go about deleting the program off the computer.
Functions and uses of a computer?
Computers nowadays are used in almost every field. Computers can be instructed to perform a variety of individual functions. A set of instructions that tells a computer what to do is called a program. Today, more than 10,000 application programs are available for use on personal computers. They include such popular programs as word processing programs, spreadsheet programs, database programs, and communication programs.
How do free virus scan and removal programs compare to paid virus scan and removal programs?
Free virus scan and removal programs are adequate for most computer users and work well to catch common viruses. Paid versions offer more coverage as well as computer support.
What is the most common amount of RAM a computer has?
The most common amount of RAM contained within a computer is one gigabyte. For programs that run at an extremely high rate, more RAM (random access memory) might be needed.
Why you need compiler?
You don't need if you don't want to develop computer programs. But if you want you should use it, for you can not make programs without a compiler. Compiler is the programs that makes the computer program out of the code
Does WeeWorld slow down your computer?
In general, the more programs you have running on a computer at once, the slower it will run. Large graphical programs slow it down more than others.
What is the most common malware software?
The most common malware software is Norton Anti Virus. They sell slightly more software programs than MacAfree. Norton will detect and clear malware from your computer.
What is computer is computer language?
A programming language is a formal constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Programming languages can be used to create programs to control the behavior of a machine or to express algorithms.
How are software made?
The detail is too complicated to go into here. In simple terms, people write instructions in common computer languages to create programs. Initially people will come with ideas of what they want to do, and then plan it and design it and finally type it into the computer. A few other things have to be done then to convert what they have typed into a form the computer can understand. Altogether there is a lot of work involved in creating complicated programs, but simple programs can be created quickly, once you have learned how to write programs.
How are computer software programs manufactured?
The "manufacturing" of computer software is called "programming"; also "development". A person or a company will use a special programming language to write instructions, which are then translated into computer code. For more details, check videos or other online resources about "computer programming". You can also find free introductory courses about computer programming in different places.
Does computer literacy involve a knowledge and understanding of the computer?
It involves a knowledge of the programs and what you can do with them, more than a technical understanding of the computer.
What are the features of a complex instruction set computer?
It provides more instructions than RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer).
