大学计算机基础——从数据操作到计算理论课后习题答案.pdf

CHAPTER 1 Introduction Review Questions 1. We use the definition “issues related to the computer”. 2. The von Neumann Model is the basis for todays computers. 3. This definition is too general. It does not specify what type of data is processed, how it is processed, or if other kinds of processing are possible using the same device. 4. It requires input data and a program to process the input data. 5. The subsystems are the memory, arithmetic/logic unit, control unit, and input/out- put. 6. Memory is the storage area used for programs and data. 7. The ALU is where calculations and logical operations take place. 8. The control unit controls the operations of the memory, ALU, and the input/output subsystem. 9. The input subsystem accepts input data and the program from outside the com- puter; the output subsystem sends the result of the processing to the outside. 10. The memory contents of early computers held only the data to be processed. The memory content of computers based on the von Neumann Model holds the data to be processed and the program to process it. 11. Before the von Neumann Model, programming was the act of manipulating a set of switches or changing the wiring system of the computer itself. With the von Neu- mann Model, programming became the task of writing a finite set of instructions to be executed on the data in sequence and storing these instructions in a form that could be
