What is computer virus?

Computers and Technology

Ainat [17]4 years ago
3 0

It is a (software) program that is installed on a computer without the user's knowledge for the purpose of making harmful changes. A computer virus attaches itself to another program (the execution of the host program triggers the action of the virus). And most of them perform actions that are malicious in nature, such as destroying data. A computer virus operates in two ways: As soon as it lands on a new computer, begins to replicate or it plays dead until the trigger kick starts the malicious code. The term 'computer virus' was formally defined by Fred Cohen in 1983.

Which set of variables will make code easier to understand?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

sum, price, count

Explanation:

Programmers should use significant names for the variables.

Not only it makes it easier for them to remember what kind of information is stored in each variable, but it also makes life simpler for anyone who would read the code later.

Names like sum, price and count are significant names ( assuming they actually hold this kind of data), and will make the re-reading of the program code much easier.
