Hybrid app

Question 6

A developer writes code in a high-level language and then uses a tool to translate the entire source code into machine code before execution. This process is known as:

Accepted Answer

Compilation. Compilation translates the entire source code into machine code (binary) before execution. Interpretation executes code line by line without prior translation into machine code. Debugging is the process of finding errors, and linking combines object files into an executable.

Answer

Interpretation

Answer

Debugging

Answer

Linking

Question 7

Which of the following file attributes on a Windows system would prevent a user from accidentally modifying a document when set?

Question 8

A developer needs to track changes to source code over time, collaborate with other developers, and maintain a history of all modifications. Which tool is specifically designed for these tasks?

Accepted Answer

Git. Git is a version control system that tracks changes, enables collaboration, and maintains a history. An IDE is for writing code, a debugger finds errors, and a text editor edits text files but lacks version control features.

Answer

Text editor

Answer

Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

Answer

Debugger

Accepted Answer

Trial. Trial software (often called trialware) provides full functionality for a limited time, then requires payment. Shareware may have limited functionality or be fully functional for a trial period. Freeware is free forever, and open source is free and modifiable.

Answer

Open source

Answer

Freeware

Answer

Shareware

Question 11

A programmer declares a variable 'price' and assigns it the value 19.99. In most programming languages, what is the data type of this variable?

Accepted Answer

Float. 19.99 is a number with a decimal point, so it is a floating-point number (float). Integer is a whole number, string is text, and boolean is true/false.

Answer

Boolean

Answer

String

Answer

Integer

Question 12

Which of the following is an example of a relative file path?

Accepted Answer

Documents\Report.docx. A relative path is defined relative to the current working directory, without a leading slash or drive letter. 'Documents\Report.docx' is relative. 'C:\Users\Report.docx' is absolute. '/home/user/Report.docx' is absolute on Linux, and '\Server\Share\Report.docx' is a UNC path.

Answer

/home/user/Report.docx

Answer

C:\Users\Report.docx

Answer

\Server\Share\Report.docx

Question 13

A project team is using Git for version control. Which TWO actions are typical Git operations? (Choose TWO.)

Accepted Answer

Branch. Branch allows developers to create separate lines of development, and Commit saves changes to the local repository. Both are core Git operations. While Push is also valid, the question asks for two typical operations; Branch and Commit are fundamental. Increase and Compile are not Git commands.

Answer

Compile

Answer

Increase

Answer

Push

Question 14

A database contains a table 'Orders' with columns OrderID, CustomerID, OrderDate, and TotalAmount. Which THREE SQL statements will correctly insert a new row into the table? (Choose THREE.)

Accepted Answer

INSERT INTO Orders VALUES (1, 101, '2023-01-15', 50.00). The standard SQL INSERT syntax is 'INSERT INTO table_name [(column_list)] VALUES (value_list)'. Option B follows this without a column list, assuming values match table column order. Option E explicitly lists columns, also valid. Option C uses the SET clause, which is an alternative syntax accepted in some database systems like MySQL. While not part of the SQL standard, it is considered correct in contexts that support it. Option A incorrectly places the column list before INTO. Option D omits the required INTO keyword. Therefore, options B, C, and E are correct.

Answer

INSERT (OrderID, CustomerID, OrderDate, TotalAmount) INTO Orders VALUES (1, 101, '2023-01-15', 50.00)

Answer

INSERT Orders VALUES (1, 101, '2023-01-15', 50.00)
