:

Assingment

Define the following terms:

1..Address Bus
an element in a computer CPU that transmits the location of stored information. The address bus allows the
CPU to send the address to RAM, and the data bus allows the actual data transfer to the CPU.

2. Application Software
Application software is a type of computer program that performs a specific personal, educational, and
business function. Each application is designed to assist end-users in accomplishing a variety of tasks,
which may be related to productivity, creativity, or communication.

3. ADCII Code

number that is expressed in the binary system or base 2 numeral system. It describes numeric values by
two separate symbols; 1 (one) and 0 (zero). The base-2 system is the positional

5.Bluetooth

broadcasting to two wireless devices at once.

6.Central Processing Unit

The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the primary component of a computer that acts as its “control
center.” The CPU, also referred to as the “central” or “main” processor, is a complex set of electronic
circuitry that runs the machine's operating system and apps.

8.Hexadecimal Number System

The hexadecimal number system is a type of number system, that has a base value equal to 16. It is
also pronounced sometimes as 'hex'. Hexadecimal numbers are represented by only 16 symbols
Tsese symbols or values are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E and F. Each digit represents a
decimal value

9.Octal Number System

The octal numeral system is the base-8 number system, and uses the digits 0 to 7. That means there
are only 8 symbols or digits (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) used to form other numbers. The main advantage of
using the octal number system is that it uses fewer digits than the decimal and hexadecimal number
system.

10.Computer Software
In a computer system, the software is basically a set of instructions or commands that tell a computer
what to do. In other words, the software is a computer program that provides a set of instructions to
execute a user's commands and tell the computer what to do. For example like MS-Word, MS-Excel,
PowerPoint, etc.
