Question

T F a. ASCII is an 8-bit encoding of a character set. [If you think its a 7-bit encoding instead, just attach an additional 0 bit to make it an 8-bit encoding.]

T F b. Unicode is an 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit encoding of a character set [or, multiple character sets].

T F c. A compiler translates a high-level language (for example, C++) to a low-level language (for example, MIPS assembly).

T F d. Compilers are often organized as a front-end (machine-independent) and a back-end (machine-dependent).

T F e. An assembler translates a low-level language (for example, MIPS assembly) to object code for the corresponding system.

T F f. A linker is used to combine object code from separately-compiled (or, separately-assembled) program components.

T F g. A loader is used to place an executable file in memory.

T F h. A netlist is an electronic physical design description, specifying the connectivity of components.

T F i. A Verilog constant expression such as 16'12 indicates that it is written in hexadecimal (because of the 16).

T F j. A Verilog initial block contains statements that are all executed at the starting simulation time.
