Exercise 2:
1-Utilise the following template to develop a flowchart that will illustrate an algorithm that will take as
input the current year, and year of birth, and will calculate the age in years.

Exercise 3:
1-List in the following table 5 programming languages, and list one domain of computer science where
each of these programming languages is used, example Python is extensively used in Artificial
Intelligence,
Programming Language Domain of Utilization
2-Define the concept of loosely typed and strongly typed programming languages:
Loosely typed programming languages: __________________________________________
Strongly typed programming languages: ___________________________________________
3-Give few examples of each:
Strongly Typed Programming Language Loosely Typed Programming Language
4-In the table below, you'll find lines of code from various programming languages. Your task is to
identify whether each line of code represents a loosely typed or strongly typed behavior. Please fill in
the 'Identify the Type' column accordingly.
Line of Code Identify the Type
int number = 5;
String text = "Hello";
String result = text + number;
age = 25
name = "Alice"
message = name + " is " + age + " years old."
int num = 10;

2-Highlight T if the statement is true and F if the statement is false.
. The "Fetch" phase of the Fetch-Decode-Execute cycle involves retrieving the next instruction from
memory. T F
. During the "Decode" phase, the fetched instruction is executed. T F
. During the "Decode" phase, the computer figures out what the instruction means. T F
. In the "Execute" phase, the ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) performs arithmetic and logical operations
specified by the instruction. T F
. The Fetch-Decode-Execute cycle is not repeated for every instruction in a program. T F
. The Fetch-Decode-Execute cycle is a fundamental process in the execution of a computer program. T F
. The "Fetch" phase grabs the instruction from memory, but not the data it needs. T F
. The "Fetch" phase always happens before the "Decode" phase. T F
. Registers are small, fast storage locations inside the CPU used for temporary data storage during the
Fetch-Decode-Execute cycle. T F
