1. The answer is Instruction.

A computer instruction is a set of orders given to a computer processor by a computer program. It is a sequence of 0s and 1s (on and off) that describes a physical operation that the computer is to perform. Instructions include information on how computers need to operate and at the very least, maintain particular computer hardware and software.

2. The answer is Oval.

An oval symbol in a flowchart represents the start and end points of the system. It usually contains the word start or end and is also referred to as the terminator symbol. In simple terms, it is the entry point and the exit point of your flowchart.

3. The answer is a Decision.

4. The answer is a model; visual, scientific, or computer model

A model graphically represents an idea, an object or even a process that is used to describe a phenomenon. The goal of using a model is to make whatever it is that you are modeling easier to understand. They visually link theory with experiment.

5. The answer is Brainstorming.

Generally, brainstorming is that situation where a group of people meet to amass and come up with spontaneous, new ideas around a specific area of interest. Brainstorming sparks off new ideas that would have never happened under normal situations. This process can be overwhelming and intensive or easy with little effort. It is a form of lateral thinking.

6. The answer is Sprite.

A sprite is a two-dimensional bitmap image that is designed and integrated into a larger scene. Sprites can be moved independently around the computer screen, producing animated effects. Sprites have evolved along with the latest computer graphics but have in recent times become less common. However, they are still used by programmers for other purposes, such as, adding buttons, symbols, and other U.I elements.

7. In machine language various sounds, words and phrases are analyzed, cataloged, converted, and tagged in a big database, to form the natural sounding voice of Siri. When you issue voice commands to Siri, it collects your analog voice and converts it into an audio file and then sends it to apple servers.

8. The answer is Computer programming.

Computer programming is simply a way of giving computers instructions to solve problems and perform various tasks. These instructions are translated into code and the end goal is to create something. Computer programming can sometimes be as easy as taking two numbers and adding them up, or complex as programming thermostats and temperature sensors.

9. The answer is Web programming.

Web programming refers to coding in markup language. It includes web content, scripting, web client, and web server. The most common languages used are HTML, Javascript, CSS, Perl 5 and PHP
