Computer Awareness Mixed Quiz: Set 49

Joining a program to the library routines it calls is the job of a linker, a separate system utility, not of the operating system.

InScript, short for Indian Script, is the standard layout notified by the Government of India and built into Windows, Linux, macOS and Android; it places vowels and matras under the left hand and consonants under the right in the dictionary order of the script, so the same layout works for…

TELNET is an application-layer protocol that lets a user log in to a remote computer and work on it through a text terminal.

A hybrid cloud joins a private deployment with a public one so that confidential records stay inside the organisation while ordinary or seasonal workloads run on rented public resources, and data can move between the two.

A firewall stands between a computer or private network and the outside world and blocks traffic that is not allowed.

A TPS serves the operational level, capturing sales, deposits, bookings, issues of material and payroll entries as they happen, where accuracy, speed and reliability matter more than analysis; it is also the source of the data that higher systems later summarise.

SWAYAM is an online learning platform, so live classroom lectures are not one of its parts.

James Gosling and his team at Sun Microsystems developed Java, which was first called Oak and was released under the name Java in 1995; its programs are compiled to bytecode and run on the Java Virtual Machine, which makes them platform independent.

Artificial Intelligence is the ability of a machine to perform tasks that normally need human intelligence, such as reasoning, learning and taking decisions.

Faqir Chand Kohli was the first general manager and later deputy chairman of Tata Consultancy Services, and he is credited with creating the model on which Indian software exports grew, namely training engineering graduates in programming and selling their services to clients abroad.

Multimedia means using several forms of media, such as text, graphics, audio, video, images and animation, together, often in a way the user can interact with.

Firmware is program code written into a read-only or flash memory chip on a device, so it stays with the hardware even when the power is off; the BIOS or UEFI on a motherboard, which starts the machine and hands control to the operating system, is the example papers name…

SGML was designed to be independent of both hardware and software, so saying it depends on a computer's hardware is false.

Fibre carries data as pulses of light travelling through a glass or plastic core by total internal reflection, and since no electric current flows in it, an external electromagnetic field cannot induce noise in the signal.

A linker is system software, a programming tool that joins compiled pieces of code into one program that can run; it does not do a task for the end user.

In black-box testing the tester treats the program as a sealed box, supplies inputs drawn from the specification and compares the outputs with what the specification promises; equivalence partitioning and boundary value analysis are its standard techniques, and no knowledge of the source code is needed.

ONDC lets a buyer on one app buy from a seller listed on any other app on the network.

The command rmdir deletes a directory only if nothing is left inside it and prints an error such as directory not empty otherwise, which makes it a safe way to clear away empty folders.
