JOSON Bachelor of Science in Computer Science Student Section 1B Submitted to: Mr. Joe Mariel M. Mejia Instructor 1|Page CONCEPCION HOLY CROSS COLLEGE, INC. COMPUTER STUDIES DEPARTMENT Minane, Concepcion, Tarlac First Semester A.Y. 202 – 2023 1. Enumerate 10 available operating systems. (Get familiar with their corresponding logos) - Fedora Chrome OS Windows 7 Oracle Linux iOS Debian Android Mac OS Linux Solaris 2. Explain how an OS manages memory. is the capability of an operating system which handles or manages primary memory and transports processes back and forth between main memory and disk during execution. Memory management keeps track of each and every memory location, regardless of either it is allocated to some process or it is free. 3. Differentiate a system software from an application software. The main difference between system software and application software is that system software are primarily designed to manage system-based resources and operations and acts as an interface between application software and computer hardware, while application software are primarily designed to help users perform specific tasks. 4. Give your own example of an application software. - Microsoft Word Office Google Chrome Safari Web Browser Video Editing Software - Google Drive - Microsoft Excel 2|Page CONCEPCION HOLY CROSS COLLEGE, INC. COMPUTER STUDIES DEPARTMENT Minane, Concepcion, Tarlac First Semester A.Y. 202 – 2023 - Adobe Photoshop 5. Give your own example of a system software. - Programing Language Translators Firmware Blackberry Mac OS Chrome OS Xbox System Software PlayStation System Software Nintendo System Software 6. Discuss the difference between a freeware, a shareware, and an open-source software. Freeware software is software, most commonly proprietary, that is supplied at no monetary cost to the end user. Shareware is commercial software that is offered free to users, eventually either requiring or pushing users to pay for the continuous support of the software. Open source software is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify, and enhance. 7. Enumerate programming languages that are considered object oriented which have not been mentioned in this lesson. - Object-oriented Programming Languages Java PHP Ruby TypeScript Python 8. Differentiate a compiler from an interpreter. The primary distinction between a compiler and an interpreter is that a compiler analyzes and translates the source code completely, whereas an interpreter only translates one line at a time. It takes a compiler and an interpreter to put a programming language's instructions into action. 3|Page CONCEPCION HOLY CROSS COLLEGE, INC.

Read the topic on how OS participates in the boot operation and enumerate the steps which happen before the OS takes control of the computer. - - Steps of Booting The Startup - It is the first step that involves switching the power ON. It supplies electricity to the main components like BIOS and processor. BIOS: Power On Self Test - It is an initial test performed by the BIOS. Further, this test performs an initial check on the input/output devices, computer’s main memory, disk drives, etc. Moreover, if any error occurs, the system produces a beep sound. Loading of OS - In this step, the operating system is loaded into the main memory. The operating system starts working and executes all the initial files and instructions. System Configuration - In this step, the drivers are loaded into the main memory. Drivers are programs that help in the functioning of the peripheral devices. Loading System Utilities - System utilities are basic functioning programs, for example, volume control, antivirus, etc. In this step, system utilities are loaded into the memory. User Authentication - If any password has been set up in the computer system, the system checks for user authentication. Once the user enters the login Id and password correctly the system finally starts. 10. Give examples of program codes which are interpreted rather than compiled. <?php echo "Hello, World!" ?><?phpECHO "Hello!<br>";echo "Welcome to Developer News<br>";Echo "Enjoy <a11 of the ad-free articles<br>";?> 11. Categorize the following software, application or system software. Application Software Avastanti - virus Inventory System Microsoft Word Disk Scanner System Software Pay roll system Ubuntu Image viewer MySQL Defragmenter Screen Saver 4|Page CONCEPCION HOLY CROSS COLLEGE, INC.
