WHAT IS PROGRAMMING

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Computers organize the zeros and ones that represent an instruction into a series of eight pieces. This series of eight ones or zeros is known as:
A
A byte
B
Data
C
A bit
D
Code
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A bit is the smallest piece of information in a computer, a single value storing either 0start text, 0, end text or 1start text, 1, end text. A byte is a unit of digital information that consists of 8 of those bits.

Detailed explanation-2: -The fundamental building blocks of computing. 0s and 1s are the foundational language of computers. Known as “binary code, ” they are the means by which AI systems process information.

Detailed explanation-3: -The 0s and 1s used to represent digital data are referred to as binary digits-from this term we get the word bit that stands for binary digit. A bit is a 0 or 1 used in the digital representation of data.

Detailed explanation-4: -Machine language gives instructions as 0’s and 1’s and is the only language that the computer understands. Assembly language is more concise but still very cumbersome when programming. A high-level language such as FORTRAN or C facilitates easy programming.

Detailed explanation-5: -An algorithm is a set of commands that must be followed for a computer to perform calculations or other problem-solving operations. According to its formal definition, an algorithm is a finite set of instructions carried out in a specific order to perform a particular task.
