Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 3, Problem 1SAT
Program Description Answer
In a computer, “CPU” is the part that sequences and executes the instructions.
Hence, the correct answer is option “A”.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Central Processing Unit (CPU):
- CPU plays the key role in a computer by carrying out the instructions of a computer program.
- It performs all the basic logic, arithmetic, controlling and input/output operations that are specified by the instructions.
- The CPU comprises of two units, Arithmetic logic unit (ALU) and control unit (CU).
- With all the advancement in technology, today the CPUs are in the form of microprocessors.
Explanation for incorrect options:
Memory:
The part of the computer that stores all the data and instructions is called the memory.
Hence, the option “B” is wrong.
Bus:
Bus is the communication system in a computer that transfers information from one component to other.
Hence, the option “C” is wrong.
Input/output devices:
The devices that fetch the user instructions and display the result to the user are called the input and output devices respectively.
Hence, the option “D” is wrong.

What are the two errors in my pseudocode?Module getAverage(Integer value1, Integer value2, Integer value3)
Declare Integer average
average = value1 + value2 + value3 / 3
Display average
End Module
Where did I make an error in my pseudocode module???Code:Module main()
Call raiseToPower(2, 1.5)
End main
Module raiseToPower(Real value, Integer power)
Declare Real result
Set result = value ^ power
Display result
End raiseToPower
Why does my pseudocode not perform what I asked? Don't know whats wrong with it.// This program asks the user to enter a value
// between 1 and 10 and validates the input.
Declare Integer value
// Get a value from the user.
Display "Enter a value between 1 and 10."
Input value
// Make sure the value is between 1 and 10.
While value < 1 AND value > 10
Display "ERROR: The value must be between 1 and 10."
Display "Enter a value between 1 and 10."
Input value
End While

- I need help writing pseudocode for calculating class score average by putting in 5 test scores, and showing the average from all 5 inputs and the GPA score.Starting with 3 functions outside of a main module. The functions are getScore(), getGPAPoint(Integer score), and getAverage(). Function getscore is an input for a grade as a class percentage. Function getGPAPoint will calculate the score into a GPA point and return as a float (values of 90-100 as 4.0, 80-89 as 3.0, 70-79 as 2.0, 60-69 as 1.0, and anything below 60 as 0.) Function averageGPA will finally make a call to both previous functions when the user inputs numbers 5 times that then calculates the average (add up all the scores, divide by 5) and the average grade alongside displaying the average GPA. End result is a main module that makes a proper call to the averageGPA function and display its results.
