2. System proposal is prepared in ______ phase of SDLC ?

Conception

Initiation

Analysis

Design

Answer: Analysis

Explanation:

System proposal is prepared in (c) Analysis phase of SDLC. During the Analysis phase of the SDLC (Systems Development Life Cycle), the current system is studied, and the requirements of the new system are gathered. The analysis phase is when the requirements of the new system are defined, documented, and verified. This is when the system proposal is prepared, which outlines the goals, scope, and objectives of the new system. The proposal includes details such as estimated costs, expected benefits, and possible risks. Once the proposal is approved, the project moves on to the Design phase.


3. The errors that can be find out by a compiler are ?

7. A detailed written description of the programming cycle and the program, along with the test results and a printout of the program is called __________ ?

documentation

output

reporting

spec sheets

Answer: documentation

Explanation:

The correct answer is (a) documentation. Documentation refers to the written description of the programming cycle and the program, along with the test results and a printout of the program. It is an essential part of software development as it helps to maintain the software and make it easier to understand and modify in the future. Documentation typically includes information about the design, implementation, testing, and maintenance of the software. It may also include user manuals, installation guides, and other related materials. Therefore, (a) documentation is the correct answer to the given question


8. Which switch should be used in the DIR command to view files in a directories ?

/P

/W

/S

/L

Answer: /S

Navigate to the folder you want displayed in Windows Explorer by using the Change Directory command "cd" (with out the quotes).


9. A compiler translates a program written in a high-level language into ?

Machine language

an algorithm

a debugged program

Java

Answer: Machine language

Explanation:

Machine language. A compiler is a software tool that translates source code written in a high-level programming language into machine code (also known as object code) that can be executed by a computer's processor. The machine code is a low-level binary representation of the program instructions that can be directly executed by the computer hardware. Therefore, option (a) is the correct answer.


10. Assembly language is ?

High-level programming language

A low-level programming language

Language for assembling computers

Answer: A low-level programming language

Explanation:
