1. What is the program development cycle, and what are its phases?
- The PLDC has 5 phases, which are: Analyzing, Designing,
Coding, Debugging and Testing, and Implementing and
Maintaining Application Software.
2. What is a programming language?
A. Low-Level Languages
- Provides little or no abstraction from a computer’s instruction set
architecture; commands or functions in the language are
structurally similar to a processor’s instructions. Low-Level
languages can convert to machine code without a complier or
interpreter-second-generation programming languages.
B. High-level language
- Has strong abstract from the details of the computer. In contrast
to Low-Level programming languages, it may use natural
language elements. Rather than dealing with registers, memory
addresses, and call stacks, high-level languages deal with
variables, arrays, objects, and etc.
3. Why is programming language important?
- They allow us to communicate with computers, create
applications, and build software. It also helps us to automate
tasks, and solve complex problems.
4. What is visual basic?
- A event-driven programming language and environment from
Microsoft that provides a graphical user interface which allows
programmers to modify code by simply dragging and dropping
objects. Intended to be easy to learn and fast to write code with.
5. What are the parts and functions of the Visual Basic 6.0
Environment?
- Features integrated development environment with multiple
windows and components for designing, writing, and testing
applications.
