1 Computer Applications Final Exam Study Guide Our final exam is based from the quizzes, tests, and from skills we have learned about Hardware, PPT, Word, Excel and HTML during our Computer Applications class. The final will be multiple choice and matching of terms. Computer Foundations TERM Bit / Byte CPU Desktop Dialog box Double click Executable File GUI (gooey) Icon Program RAM Right click CTRL SHIFT DEFINITION A bit is the smallest unit of computer data measurement, a byte is equal to 8 bits the central processing unit The background image of a display screen, on which windows, icons, and other graphical items reside A window that appears on a computer screen, presenting information or requesting input Executes a command or opens a window/ program/file A type of computer file that runs a program when it is opened. It executes a series of instructions contained in a file Graphical User Interface (i.e. icons) first introduced by Apple in 1984 (developed by Xerox) A visual representation of something on your computer; represents an object or a program on your hard drive A sequence of instructions written to perform a specified task for a computer. A computer requires programs to function, typically executing the program's instructions in a central processor. The program has an executable form that the computer can use directly to execute the instructions. Short-term memory that stands for Random Access Memory Typically reveals a shortcut menu specific to the program Selects non-consecutive cells or words Selects consecutive cells or words MS POWERPOINT UNIT Hyperlinks quick connections to outside source or another slide Two parts of a PPT hyperlink Courage Character - Commitment Page 1

2 o o Address -actual URL / Web address Display text the visible text you see that represents the link MS WORD UNIT Be able to distinguish between: o San Serif font without feet (i.e. Arial) o Serif font w/feet (i.e. Times New Roman) o Open Type font font that can be read on any computer platform o True Type font font that can be printed out exactly the way they appear on screen Know the difference between a Ribbon and a Group Recognize this icon and its function o Decimal tab lines up numbers with decimals; requires viewing the Ruler to place MS EXCEL UNIT Be able to identify parts of a table o Row runs horizontal in a table and is divided by borders o Borders separating lines in the table o Column runs perpendicular in a table and is divided by borders too o Cell created when rows and column intersect, contains your data Courage Character - Commitment Page 2

3 1. Be able to recognize a picture of what the mouse button looks like when it is positioned properly to adjust column/row width/height Courage Character - Commitment Page 3

4 2. Be able to identify a column and a row if given a diagram (picture) 3. Be able to identify: 4. Tell me the difference between a workbook (what an Excel file is called) and a worksheet (what an Excel workbook is made up of workbooks are made up of worksheets) 5. All formulas begin with what mathematical symbol = 6. The answer to an addition problem is called the sum 7. The difference between a formula and a function in Excel is - a formula is a mathematical equation and a function is a built-in formula and uses words like sum, product, rounding, IF 8. Excel uses the order of operations to solve formulas we enter. The order of operations is: G (used to be P) Grouping E Exponents M Multiplication D Division A Addition S Subtraction 9. Write an example of a cell reference B3 10. We use cell references because IT ALLOWS US TO CHANGE THE NUMBERS AND HAVE THE FORMULAS UPDATE AUTOMATICALLY 11. Write an example of an absolute cell reference $A$5 12. What does using the absolute cell reference do ALLOWS ONE TO stay fixed on a specific cell even when you copy and paste the formula to different locations 13. Write an addition formula/function using B1 and C5 =B1+C5 OR =sum(b1,c5) 14. Write a multiplication formula/function using A1 and G1 =A1*G1 OR =product(a1,g1) 15. Write a division problem using B1 and making A1 an absolute cell reference =B1/$A$1 16. Exponents are represented with the ^ sign EXAMPLE A4^2 means the number in A4 to the second power 17. Be prepared to write out equations/formulas when given the cell references. For example: Question: Write an addition formula adding C8 and D2 together. The correct answer would look like: =(c8+d2) OR Write an addition function adding C8 and D2 together. The correct answer would look like: (note the difference between the two? The word sum is used in the function. =sum(c8+d2) Courage Character - Commitment Page 4

5 HTML Be able to identify parts of a basic HTML file Identify the purpose of <!DOCTYPE html>, <html> and <title> tags Know that container tags have opening and closing tags and surround words Understand the difference between a parent and a child tag (nesting) Know what WWW and HTML stand for o World Wide Web o Hypertext Markup Language Be able to define: o Browser a software that is used to access and view websites o Internet global wide area network that connects computer systems across the world o Network a group of two / more connected computers o HTTP Hypertext Transfer Protocol o HTTPS Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure o Website Collection of documents/pages Characteristics of Inline and Block Elements o Inline Do not create line breaks Used to markup text fragments o <em>, <strong>, <i>,<b> Block Create line breaks before & after tag Include these tags: <head>, <p>, <blockquote>, <cite>, <q> Characteristics of Physical and Logical/Semantic tags o Physical Indicate the visual style of the text they contain Not user friendly for users w/disabilities Presentation tags o Logical/Semantic Can be read by software used by users w/disabilities; critical to accessibility Courage Character - Commitment Page 5

6 Search engines need to what your content is about to rank you for searches; using semantic tags improves your placement on search engines Know the 3 elements/tags we used for quotes and citations o <blockquote> - indents both sides for long quotes of more than a few words o <q> - small, inline quotes o <cite> - indicates citation / reference HTML Character entities o Use the & symbol to indicate beginning of character o Use the ; symbol to indicate its end Difference between an Ordered and Unordered lists and their tags o <OL> - creates a numbered list (numbered) <li> - each item under an ordered list must be surrounded by <li> </li> o <UL> - creates an unordered list (bulleted) <li> - each item under an unordered list must be surrounded by <li> </li> o Recognize a properly nested OL and UL Understand what the a and the href represent in a hyperlink tag o a = the HTML cue that you are creating a link o href = stands for hypertext reference Courage Character - Commitment Page 6
