If an algorithm is translated exactly to a higher-level language such as Python, will the solution utilized still work?

Yes, because an exact translation affects only the way that it is read

Why is it important that online systems with large data sets be scalable?

If the workload increases, the decrease in performance can be mitigated

What would be of most use to a company that needs a way to keep track of daily profit and expenses?

the ability to create a graph of the data easily, the ability to have specified rows (like total profit) update automatically

Which of the following is NOT true about a computing innovation?

A computing innovation can be purely hardware.

Which of the following would be the most efficient strategy for creating algorithms?

Each algorithm is created by different member based on strength/experience

What is NOT true about an event?

An event does not affect the sequence of a program.

A database maintains info about the price, colors, quantity available, and customer comments. What CANNOT be determined?

The popularity of a color depending on the season

What are benefits of collaborating on an algorithm rather than working on it alone?

each part of the algorithm can be made by the most skilled in an area, different understandings of concepts can strengthen the algorithm

A collection of program statements that perform a specific task when run

What is a code segment?

A collection of program statements that are part of a program

Answers

1
If an algorithm is translated exactly to a higher-level language such as Python, will the solution utilized still work?
No, because an algorithmic solution can exist only in the original language
Yes, because an exact translation affects only the way that it is read
No, because the language readability affects how complex algorithms can be
Yes, because an algorithm will always work regardless of the language
2
Why is it important that online systems with large data sets be scalable?
If a system is scalable, all future programs will run faster
If the workload increases, the increase in performance can be mitigated
If a system is scalable, all future programs are guaranteed to run properly
If the workload increases, the decrease in performance can be mitigated
3
What would be of most use to a company that needs a way to keep track of daily profit and expenses?
the ability to create a graph of the data easily
an error checker that finds errors in advanced formulas
the ability to create and add map charts
the ability to have specified rows (like total profit) update automatically
4
Which of the following is NOT true about a computing innovation?
A computing innovation can be purely hardware.
A computing innovation can have a physical side to it.
A computing innovation can be nonphysical.
A computing innovation has a program as an integral part of its function.
5
Which of the following would be the most efficient strategy for creating algorithms?
Each algorithm is created by different member based on strength/experience
Each algorithm is created by different member and is implemented as a group
Each algorithm is created by different member and 1 member puts it together
Each algorithm is created by the entire group before next one is started
6
What is NOT true about an event?
An event affects the flow of execution of a program.
An event does not affect the sequence of a program.
