Explanation:
a. A desktop or laptop computer that is used on its own without requiring a connection to a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN). Although it may be connected to a network, it is still a stand-alone PC as long as the network connection is not mandatory for its general use.
difference between first and second generation of computers.
In first generation main memory was in the form of magnetic drum and in second generation main memory was in the form RAM and ROM. Punched card and magnetic tape was used in first generation and magnetic tape was used in second generation. Machine language was used in first and assembly language was used in second.
c.A computer program that converts assembly language to machine language is Assembler. Assembler : An assembler is a type of computer program that interprets software programs written in assembly language into machine language, code and instructions that can be executed by a computer.
f. A Compiler is a computer program that translates code written in a high level language to a lower level language, object/machine code. The most common reason for translating source code is to create an executable program (converting from a high level language into machine language).
