1. The most basic circuitry-level computer language is ____________.

a. machine language

b. Java

c. high-level language

d. C++

Answer: a. machine language

Explanation: Machine language is the lowest-level programming language, written in binary (0s and 1s), that

the CPU can execute directly.

2. Languages that let you use an easily understood vocabulary of descriptive terms are

____________ languages.

a. procedural

b. high-level

c. machine

d. object-oriented

Answer: b. high-level

Explanation: High-level languages like Java or Python use human-readable words such as 'print', 'if', 'else',

etc., making them easier to learn and use.

3. The rules of a programming language constitute its ____________.

a. syntax

b. logic

c. format

d. objects

Answer: a. syntax

Explanation: Syntax defines the rules and structure that a language uses to write valid code.

4. A ____________ translates high-level language statements into machine code.

a. programmer
b. syntax detector

c. compiler

d. decipherer

Answer: c. compiler

Explanation: A compiler translates code written in a high-level language (like Java) into machine code or

bytecode for execution.

5. Named computer memory locations are called ____________.

a. compilers

b. variables

c. addresses

d. appellations

Answer: b. variables

Explanation: Variables are names given to memory locations to store data that can change during program

execution.

6. The individual operations used in a program are grouped into logical units called

____________.

a. procedures

b. variables

c. constants

d. logistics

Answer: a. procedures

Explanation: Procedures (or methods/functions) group multiple statements into reusable, logical blocks of

code.

7. Envisioning program components as real-world-like objects is ____________.

a. command-line operating systems

b. procedural programming
c. object-oriented programming

d. machine languages

Answer: c. object-oriented programming

Explanation: Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) models real-world entities using classes and objects.

8. The values of an object's attributes are known as its ____________.

a. state

b. orientation

c. methods

d. condition

Answer: a. state

Explanation: An object's state is defined by the values of its attributes (also known as fields or properties) at a

given time.

9. An instance of a class is a(n) ____________.

a. method

b. procedure

c. object

d. case

Answer: c. object

Explanation: A class is a blueprint, and when you create a real example from that blueprint, you get an object.

10. Java is architecturally ____________.

a. neutral

b. oriented

c. specific

d. abstract

Answer: a. neutral

Explanation: Java is 'architecturally neutral' because compiled Java code (bytecode) can run on any platform
with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

11. You must compile classes written in Java into ____________.

a. bytecode

b. source code

c. javadoc statements

d. object code

Answer: a. bytecode

Explanation: Java source files (.java) are compiled into bytecode (.class), which the JVM executes.

12. All Java programming statements must end with a ____________.

a. period

b. comma

c. closing parenthesis

d. semicolon

Answer: d. semicolon

Explanation: In Java, every statement ends with a semicolon (;).

13. Arguments to methods always appear within ____________.

a. parentheses

b. double quotation marks

c. single quotation marks

d. curly braces

Answer: a. parentheses

Explanation: Method arguments are always enclosed in parentheses: methodName(argument1, argument2);

14. In a Java program, you must use ____________ to separate classes, objects, and

methods.

a. commas
b. semicolons

c. dots

d. forward slashes

Answer: c. dots

Explanation: Java uses the dot operator (.) to access members of classes/objects: object.method() or

Class.staticMethod().

15. All Java applications must have a method named ____________.

a. method()

b. main()

c. java()

d. Hello()

Answer: b. main()

Explanation: The Java program's entry point is public static void main(String[] args).

16. Nonexecuting program statements that provide documentation are called ____________.

a. classes

b. notes

c. comments

d. commands

Answer: c. comments

Explanation: Comments in Java (//, /* */, or /** */) are ignored by the compiler and used for documentation or

explanation.

17. Java supports three types of comments: ____________, ____________, and javadoc.

a. line, block

b. string, literal

c. constant, variable

d. single, multiple
Answer: a. line, block

Explanation: Java supports line comments (//), block comments (/* */), and javadoc comments (/** */).

18. Which of the following is not necessary to do before you can run a Java program?

a. coding

b. compiling

c. debugging

d. saving

Answer: c. debugging

Explanation: While debugging is useful to fix errors, it's not mandatory. You must write (code), save, and

compile before running.

19. The command to execute a compiled Java application is ____________.

a. run

b. execute

c. javac

d. java

Answer: d. java

Explanation: javac compiles code. java ClassName runs the compiled bytecode.

20. You save text files containing Java source code using the file extension ____________.

a. .java

b. .class

c. .txt

d. .src

Answer: a. .java

Explanation: Java source files are saved with the .java extension. The compiler generates .class files.
