Wednesday 8th June - OCR GCSE Computing Exam

Thanks so much! Do you have the exam tomorrow as well?

What'd pes a database Managment system do? And what is a relational database? I have so failed this exam :'(

I think it separates data from the applications. And a relational database is a database connected to another database using primary/foreign keys

Assemblers, Compliers, Interpereters, Machine Language, Assembly Language.

Only part of the spec I'm confused about, I'd really appreciate some help

no problem! Yeah, absolutely dreading it because of how little revision I've actually done

A DBMS allows you to control the data in your database. SO it allows you to create forms, queries, reports, tables.
A relational database is one which is linked through a primary key through individual tables.

naah, im sure you'll do well, considering you made the thread in March. i imagine that you'd have done substantial revision

Assemblers, Compliers, Interpereters, Machine Language, Assembly Language.

Only part of the spec I'm confused about, I'd really appreciate some help

nah mate, made the thread in march to motivate everyone else but the revision started today smh
Thanks though - hope you do well tomorrow

stop lying to yourself. You know you'll do well

machine code is the binary code that the computer actually uses (so it is like 00001001 10001000 etc instead of actual words)
assembly language is a low-level language that uses mnemonics like ADD and stuff but it's still really hard to use (I think it's what you use in LMC, but I didn't do that assessment so idk)
assemblers convert assembly language into machine code
compilers and interpreters are two types of translators. They translate high-level code into machine code. A compiler converts all of the code before the code is run, but an interpreter converts one line of code, runs it and then moves on to the next one. So from that you can see that each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

hope that helps a bit?

I have my exam tmrw and i literally dont know can i please have the computing notes i do ocr and i reallllllyyyy need it to

thanks

Was I the only one unrealistically thinking some computer science nerd that has elite hacks would of leaked the paper? ;D If only lmao

yeah definitely - I couldn't even understand the algorithm question on the 2015 paper whilst looking at the mark scheme
