Q.C. Answer the following questions:

1. Differentiate between minicomputer and micro computer.

Ans. Mini computers are small general-purpose computers having the capability to serve a number of users simultaneously. They are generally more powerful and expansive than the micro computers.

The invension of microprocessor (single chip CPU) gave birth to the much cheaper micro computer.

2. What do you understand by the term ‘Structure of Computer System’?

Ans. By the term structure of computer system a number of electronic devices connected together. These devices are made up of both hardware and software. Hardware includes the physical parts, such as the monitor, motherboard, speakers and mouse. Software is intangible (not physical), and includes the applications and programs that make the computer run.

3. What is application software?Ans. An application software plays an important part in helping

users execute different tasks using computer. It is designed to be used by end-users. Application software includes software such as database programs, word processors and spreadsheets, e-mail applications, computer games, graphic

Q.D. Answer the following questions: 1. Do you think that software and hardware are

interdependent on each other? Explain.Ans. Hardware and software are the two basic groups that

make up a computer. Hardware includes the physical parts, such as the monitor, motherboard and mouse. Software is intangible, and includes the applications and programs that the computer runs. So, we think that software and hardware are interdependent.

2. What is a machine language?Ans. Machine language is a set of instructions executed directly

by a computer’s Central Processing Unit (CPU). Each instruction performs a very specific task, such as a load, a jump, or an ALU operation on a unit of data in a CPU register or memory.

3. What are the advantages of third generation languages over the first and second generation?

Ans. A third generation language improves over a second generation language by having the computer take care of non-essential details. 3GLs feature more abstraction that previous generations of languages, and thus can be considered higher level languages than their first and second generation computer languages.

4. Discuss the evolution of programming languages.Ans. Programming languages were used even before computers

were invented. For examples, a player piano scroll, a long roll of encoded paper tape, is considered an early form of programming. The first version of a programming language arose from work by Ada Lovelace. She is remembered in the programming language still in use on military-grade projects.

5. What is the difference between compiler and interpreter?

5Active Computer-6

Explain.Ans. Compilers and interpreters are used to convert the code of

high level language into machine language. Both compilers and interpreters perform the same task but there is a difference in their working. An interpreter is slower than a compiler.

2. What is meant by authentication? What are the types of authentication?

Ans. Authentication is the process of verifying a user’s identity before granting him or her access to a computer system.

There are three types of authentication. These are: (i) Accepting proof of identity: This type of authentication

is accepting proof of identity given by a credible person who has first hand evidence that the identity is genuine.

(iii) Relies on documentation: This type of authentication relies on documentation or other external affirmations.

3. What is malware? How does it affect your computer? Mention some types of malwares.

Ans. Malware is ‘malicious software’. It refers to software programs designed to damage or do other unwanted actions on a computer system. Viruses, worms, trojan horses and spyware are some of the types of malwares.

4. What is trojan?Ans. A trojan is a type of malware designed to provide

unauthorised, remote access to a user’s computer.

5. Differentiate between encryption and decryption.Ans. Encryption is the process of conversion of data and

information into a form, called a cilphertext, that cannot be easily understood by unauthorised people.

Decryption is the process of converting encrypted data back into its original form, so that it can be understood.
