Computers final

Let's the hardware devices communicate with one another and run efficiently

Operating system

The Most important piece of hardware in a computer is the ———,which processes data

Central Processing unit(CPU)

A(n) ———— port connects several peripherals to a computer at one time and moves data faster than a serial port.

Universal Serial bus (USB)

A(N) ———— is any hardware device that is seperate from the computer but connected to it

Peripheral

—- is online storage offered on various Web Sites

Cloud/Cloud Storage

Refers to the raw data that is entered into a computer 

Input

Refers to the result of the computers processing

Output

—- Refers to the task or tasks carried out by the computer,or what it does with the data

Processing

The last stage of computer processing is ——,the saving of processed information.

Storage

The ——- is the part of the computer where the CPU and memory are located.

Motherboard

Most ——— are about 6’’ wide by 8’’ tall and weigh less than 1 pound.

Know the difference between hardware and software?

Hardware is for example a keyboard,mouse,monitor,and disk drive. While Software refers to any program that tells a computer what to do and how to do it.

A group of 8 or more bits is a byte. True or False

True

Data is coded in 0’s and 1’s true or false

True

Know the difference between digital and analog computers?

Digital computers work with data that have a fixed value, used for playing games or searching internet. While an Analog computer measures data on a scale with many values, used heavily in 1970’s.

What are the two types of software?

Utility and Application Software

Know the Difference between Serial ports and Parallel ports?

Serial ports move data one bit at a time; meanwhile, Parallel ports move data in groups of 8 bits (1 Byte) at a time.

— are programs designed to help you with specific tasks

Application Software

Are Programs that perform maintenance and repair jobs.

utility Software

—- is a type od software that allows a computers hardware devices to communicate and run efficiently.

Operating system (OS)

Know the Difference between ROM and RAM?

ROM-is Read Only Memory

RAM- is Random Access Memory

The area where data and instructions are stored while the computer working is called——. It is considered Volatile.

RAM- Random Access Memory

Instructions that start the computer when turned on. Instructions dont change. PERMANENT

ROM-Read Only Memory

What types of businesses use mainframes?

Finance

A —— is a computer that allows people to access the same dat at the same time.

Mainframe

Partial window seen in split screen

Panes

Some programs also split the screen by showing text in one pane and a list of the document's headings in the other. This list is called a

Document map 

From the row of keys at the top of the keyboard that are labeled F1, F2, and so on. 

Function key

a collection of predefined styles that go together.

Style sheet

shows everything in a document-margins, graphics, headers, page numbers, and text.

Print preview

Place where you insert text

Insertion Point

The program automatically starts a new line, or "wraps" the text, when the current line is full.

Word Wrap

Know the difference between basic view,print layout view, web layout, and outline view?

The most basic view, called Normal view or Draft view, shows text in the correct font and has character format- ting like bold and italic. vThe Print Layout view shows how a docu- ment will look when it is printed. Web Layout view, which shows how a document will appear when published on the World Wide Web.  An Outline view reveals the structure of a doc- ument. It breaks down the document into its major headings, subheadings, and text.

Command +

Know what an extension is?

 In Windows, file names have extensions, such as .txt, .rtf, .docx, or .wpd, although these extensions may be hidden from view.

What is formatting?

Controllling how text appears in your document, etc.)

What are margins?

This is the space between the four paper edges and the text.

Know difference between source file and destination file?

The file that contains the original data is called the source File,  and the file where you place the shared data is called the destination file.

Know how to write an excel formula!

Ex- =SUM(E3:E4)

Know the difference between embedding and linking?

The simplest way is to copy the data in the source file and paste it into the destination file. This process is called Embedding. There is a way to export data that keeps objects up-to- date. This is called linking. To link data, you begin in the same way-by copying the data from the source. However, instead of using the Paste command in the destination, you use Paste Special. 

Know data and number formats?

Data Formats You can change the look of either labels (text and numbers) or values (numbers used in calculations) in the selected cells.Number Formats Number formats, such as percent, cur- rency, decimal, or fraction, affect the way numbers display.

Know types of charts?

Pie, line etc.

Know difference between relative and absolute reference?

A relative reference automatically changes when it is copied or moved so that it uses cell addresses that are specific to its new location.An absolute reference does not change if you copy or move it to a different cell. You should use this type of reference when your formula or function must refer to a specific cell or range

a group of cells next to each other. 

Range

A ——— is a set of data that changes by a constant value

Data Series

When data increases

Increment

When data decreases

Decrement

Each function has its own ——-, or rules of wording, that specifies how it must be entered.

syntax

A ——— is a set of mouse actions, keystrokes, or commands that you can record and put into action again and again.

Macros

When you nest a function, you include it within another function. 

Nesting

An ———, which is data the function must use. This is often a reference to a cell or a range of cells but may be a number, date, or other data. A function's ——— are usually enclosed in parentheses.

Arguement, argument’s

a ——— is a commonly used formula built into a program.

Function

A ——— is a number, such as a whole number, a frac- tion, or a decimal.

Value

A ——- is text or a combination of numbers and text. —— are typically used for headings or explanations.

Label, Labels

The —— forms the top and left borders of the work- sheet. It includes the column and row headings. 

Frame

The formulas discussed so far have used values. But formulas can also use cell references, or cell addresses. Example——- A1

cell reference

To use ——, you only need to enter the first one or two values in the series. Then, move the mouse to the lower-right corner of the first cell until a small plus sign or arrow appears. Drag across a row or down a column until you reach the last cell in the series. The data in the series appears in the cells.

Know different views? p.271-272

Normal View- Text and graphics can be added, removed, or edited in Normal view. Normal view splits the screen to show a Slide view and a Navigation pane. 

Slide Sorter View- displays thumbnails of all of the slides in a presentation. This view allows you to change the order of the slides by dragging them to different locations.

Notes Page View- part of the screen dis- plays the slide and the rest of the screen shows a text box.

Slide Show View- The primary on-screen method of preview- ing and displaying slides during a presentation is called Slide Show view. Slides are displayed full-screen, one after another, in order.

Reading View-  is similar to Slide Show view, except the slides are not displayed full-screen. 

Master Views- Many programs let you use Master views to make universal style changes to every slide, notes page, and/or handout pages.
