- 9How many bits (binary digits) are in a byte?- There are 8 bits in one byte.
- 10How many bits (binary digits) are in a byte?- There are 8 bits in one byte.
- 11What is a Hardware?- It is the physical, material part of a computer or a system that is connected to the computer.
- E.G Motherboard, mouse & keyboard, speaker, and ETC. - 12What is an Operating System?- A low-level software that handles the interface to peripheral hardware, schedule tasks, allocate storage and presents a common interface to the user.
- E.G Windows 10, Mac OS and ETC. - 13What is an Application?- A complete, self-contained program that performs a specific function directly for the user.
- E.G League of Legends, Google Chrome and ETC. - 14What is a User?- Any person, organization, process, device, program, protocol or system which uses a service provided by others.
- E.G Humans. - 15What are the two types of user-interfaces which an OS provides to the user?- Command-Driven Interface
- Graphical User Interface (GUI) - 16The relationship between Hardware, Operating System, Application and User
- 17How does the OS communicate with the hardware devices and how does it work?- Each device connected to the computer has a device driver to facilitate the communication between the device and the computer.
- The device driver translates the device's specialized commands into commands that the OS understands, and vice-versa. - 18How does an application communicate with the OS to use the services of the OS and the computer hardware?- Applications communicate with the OS via the Application Programming Interface (API) which allow access to services offered by the OS.
