Textbook Question
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 correct answer is option “B”.
Explanation of Solution
Program:
- In general, a computer is able to perform many types of tasks because they are can programmed.
- It implies that computers not only performs a single job, but also performs multiple jobs.
- In a computer, a task is implemented by a set of instructions and it is referred as a “program”.
- Programs are generally referred as “software”, software is component which controls the operations of computer.
- 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 various types of programming languages such as C, C++, java, Python and many others.
- 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 wrong.
Interpreter:
The term interpreter is a program which is used to translate and run the instructions in a high level language program.
Hence, the option “C” is wrong.
Programming language:
The term programming language refers the name of languages which are used to create a program.
Hence, the option “D” is wrong.

I cannot program smart home automation rules from my device using a computer or phone, and I would like to know how to properly connect devices such as switches and sensors together ?
Cisco Packet Tracer
1. Smart Home Automation:o Connect a temperature sensor and a fan to a home gateway.o Configure the home gateway so that the fan is activated when the temperature exceedsa set threshold (e.g., 30°C).2. WiFi Network Configuration:o Set up a wireless LAN with a unique SSID.o Enable WPA2 encryption to secure the WiFi network.o Implement MAC address filtering to allow only specific clients to connect.3. WLC Configuration:o Deploy at least two wireless access points connected to a Wireless LAN Controller(WLC).o Configure the WLC to manage the APs, broadcast the configured SSID, and applyconsistent security settings across all APs.
