Computer Science

The thing that eventually terminates a worm virus is a lack of:

A
Memory or disk space.
B
Time.
C
CD drive space.
D
CD-RW.
Explanation and memory cue

A worm virus typically terminates when it runs out of resources such as memory or disk space, which are necessary for its replication and operation. Without sufficient memory or disk space, the worm cannot continue spreading or executing its payload.

Data Representation

easy
Computer Science

What is the unit of measurement for word length in computer architecture?

A
Metre
B
Byte
C
Bits
D
Millimetre
Explanation and memory cue

In computer architecture, the unit of measurement for word length is bits. A word is a fixed-sized group of bits processed as a unit by a computer's CPU. While bytes (8 bits) are commonly used to measure data size, word length specifically refers to the number of bits in a word, which can vary by architecture (commonly 16, 32, or 64 bits). Therefore, the correct unit for word length is bits, not bytes.
