Language Translators and high-level programming languages. d. Binary numbers and computers. (Module: Programming and Scripting) (correct answers)c. Language Translators and High Level Programming Languages How do a router and switch differ when handling a message?
a. A virtual machine (VM) is a broadcasting device that facilitates communication across a network, thus supporting a business computing ecosystem. b. A virtual machine (VM) is made available by software and permits a computer to run multiple OSs. In a business ecosystem, this allows for improved collaboration that is not restricted by platform software. c. A virtual machine (VM) is a server that users can log into and use different OSs and applications associated with the different OSs. d. A virtual machine (VM) is a whole separate physical computer that provides users access to an OS different from their primary computer. Being able to have access to a computer with a different OS facilitates collaboration in the business ecosystem. (Module: Network Hardware) (correct answers)d. A virtual machine (VM) is made available by software and permits a computer to run multiple OSs. In a business ecosystem, this allows for improved collaboration that is not restricted by platform software. Which of the following is the correct function of the compiler? a. Translates the entire program, creating an executable program, which can be run at a later time. b. Takes the most recently entered instruction, translates it into machine language, and executes it. c. Allows programmers to more easily write programs. d. Every instruction is translated first and then executed, and this must be done every time the program is run. (Module: Programming and Scripting) (correct answers)a. Translates the entire program, creating an executable program, which can be run at a later time.
