Mainframe computer. b. Mini computer. c. Micro computer. d. Super computer.

2. Write two features of Mini Computer. Ans. The two features of mini computer are as follows: - a. Mini computer has less memory capacity than a Mainframe computer. b. Mini computer has limited range of peripherals.

3. Write any two features of Micro computer. Ans. The two features of micro computer are as follows: - a. Micro computer is cheaper and user friendly. b. They can use wide range of software.

4. Name the fields where the super computers are used. Ans. The fields where the super computers can be used are Nuclear research laboratories, Weather Forecasting, Weapon Designing and Oil exploration. 5. What is a computer language? Ans. A computer language is a language in which a writes the instructions for a computer to execute, is called a programming language. A programming language is necessary to communicate with the computer. 6. What do you mean by low level language? Ans. Low Level Language (LLL) is also known as machine level language or machine language. It is a language only understood by a computer machine. The code in LLL is written in 0 or 1 which is known as binary code. The program written in LLL is a data using binary which a computer can understand. 7. What do you mean by high level language? Ans. High Level language (HLL) is also know as third generation language. HLL is a language which uses English alphabets, numbers and symbols for writing the program. The program written in HLL needs to be converted into machine language using translators. 8. What is a machine language? Ans. Machine language is also known as machine level language or low level language. It is a language only understood by a computer machine. The code in LLL is written in 0 or 1 which is known as binary code. The program written in LLL is a data using binary codes which a computer can understand.

9. What is an assembler? Ans. An assembler is a translator program that converts the program written in assembly language into machine language so that the computer can understand the code. 10. What is a compiler? Ans. A compiler is a translator program that converts the program written in high level language into low level language so that the computer can understand the code. It translates the program in one go instead of translating the program line by line. 11. What is the function of 4GL? Ans. The functions of 4GL are as follows: - a. Fourth generation language minimizes the programming efforts. b. It can be executed at a very fast speed. c. It is easy to modify the programs written in 4GL. d. Various other applications can be developed in 4GL.
