Installing a new operating system

When installing a new operating system, you need to make several choices. The Windows XP Setup Wizard and this document guide you through these choices. You also learn how to connect your computer to a network.

Important: Before you begin, you should also read the file Read1st.txt, which is on the Windows XP Professional CD. This file contains late-breaking information that was unavailable when these release notes and the product documentation was written, including preinstallation notes vital to the success of your installation.

To ensure a successful installation, complete the following tasks, which are described in the sections that follow, before you install Windows XP:

• Make sure your hardware components meet the minimum requirements.

• Obtain compatible hardware and software, such as upgrade packs and new drivers.

• Obtain network information.

• Back up your current files in case you need to restore your current operating system.

• Determine whether you want to perform an upgrade or install a new copy of Windows XP Professional.

If you're installing a new copy, identify and plan for any advanced setup options you might want.

Lesson 5 Communication with computer

1. Read and memorize the following words.

BASIC –(Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) Бейсік;

FORTRAN – (FORmula TRANslation) Фортран;

ALGOL - (Algorithmic Language) Алгол;

COBOL - (COmmon Business-Oriented Language) Кобол;

considered – обґрунтований;

comprehensive – комплексний, повний;

to express – виражати;

accepted – прийнятий;

advantage – перевага;

relatively – відносно.

2. What programming languages for communication with the computer do you know? What languages do you use to communicate with the computer?

Men use languages in order to communicate with each other. When the man wishes to communicate with the computer he uses in the same way "languages" such as BASIC, PASCAL, ADA, FORTRAN, ALGOL, COBOL and others.

BASIC is considered to be one of the easiest programming languages to learn. It is now used almost universally.

PASCAL is a general purpose high level programming language. It is named after the famous French mathematician, Blaze Pascal. In 1642 he designed and built the first mechanical calculator, the «Pascaline».

ADA is a high level programming language. It is a PASCAL-based language, but much more comprehensive than PASCAL. It was named after Augusta Ada Byron (1816-1852), daughter of the English poet, Lord Byron.

FORTRAN is a problem oriented high level programming language for scientific and mathematical use. FORTRAN was the first high level programming language. It was developed in 1956 and was designed to easily express mathematical formulas for computer processing. It is still widely used as a programming language.

ALGOL – was developed as an international language for the expression of the algorithms between individuals as well as a programming language. It was introduced in the early l960s. ALCOL was originally known as IAL or International Algebraic Language.

COBOL is internationally accepted programming language developed for general commercial use. The advantages of using COBOL are that it is relatively simple to learn and programs can be quickly written and tested. Pro­grammers can easily understand programs not written by themselves.

3. Make up sentences:

BASIC PASCAL ADA FORTRAN ALGOL COBOL

is

- high level programming language. - an international language for the expression of the algorithms. -the easiest programming languages to learn. - internationally accepted programming language. - a problem oriented high level programming language. - a PASCAL-based language.

4. Are the sentences true or false? Correct the false sentences.

1 Men use languages in order to communicate with each other.

2 ADA was designed to easily express mathematical formulas for computer processing.

3 ALCOL was originally known as IAL.

4 The advantages of using COBOL are that it is relatively simple to learn.

5 PASCAL is named after the famous German mathematician.

6 FORTRAN isn’t still widely used as a programming language.

7 Augusta Ada Byron was Byron’s wife.

5. Translate the sentences into English

1. Люди використовують язики, щоб спілкуватись.
