Chapter 1, Problem 1MC
A(n) _______ is a set of instructions that a computer follows to perform a task.
- a. compiler
- b. program
- c. interpreter
- d.
programming language
Expert Solution & Answer
Program Description Answer
A computer implements a particular task by using a “program” which contains set of instructions.
Hence, the answer is option “B”
Explanation of Solution
Program:
In general, a computer is able to perform many types of tasks because they can be programmed. It implies that computers can perform many jobs.
- A set of instructions that a computer follows to implement a task is referred to as a “program”.
- Programs are generally referred as “software” which is used by a computer because every operation of computer is controlled with the help of software.
- In computer, software is created by the individual programmers or the software developers.
- The computer programs are designed, and tested by the programmers.
The programs can be generated by using some type of programming languages such as C, C++, java, Python, and so on. The language statements are referred as “source program”. After the compilation of source program, it is referred as “object program”.
Explanation for incorrect options:
Compiler:
The “compiler” is software which is used to translate a high level language into a machine language.
Hence, the option “A” is not correct.
Interpreter:
The term “interpreter” is a program which is used to translate and runs the instructions in a high level language program.
Hence, the option “C” is not correct.
Programming language:
The term “programming language” refers the name of languages which are used to create a program.
Hence, the option “D” is not correct.

Please answer JAVA OOP problem below:
You are working at a university that tracks students. Each student is identified by their name and faculty advisor. Each faculty advisor is identified by their name, department, and maximum number of students they can advise.
Using solid OO design principles, create a modular program that implements all the classes for the problem and also creates an implementation class that gathers user input for one student and then prints out the information gathered by creating the appropriate data definition and implementation classes. All data must be validated.
I have given the code so far:
