Malware is any malicious software (viruses, worms, trojans, spyware); ransomware is a specific type that encrypts/locks a victim's data and demands payment to restore access.
What is a DBMS and a database?
A database is an organized collection of related data; a DBMS (Database Management System) is software used to store, manage, retrieve, and manipulate that data (e.g., MySQL, Oracle, MS Access).
In a relational database, what is a table, a record (row), and a field (column)?
A table stores data in rows and columns; a record/row is a single complete entry (e.g., one customer); a field/column is a single attribute (e.g., name or account number).
What is a primary key in a database?

What is a programming language? Name the three broad types.
A formal set of instructions to communicate with a computer. Three types: Machine language (binary, low-level), Assembly language (mnemonics), and High-level language (e.g., C, Java, Python).
What is the difference between a compiler and an interpreter?
A compiler translates the entire high-level program into machine code at once before execution; an interpreter translates and executes the program line by line.
What is an algorithm and a flowchart in programming?
An algorithm is a step-by-step finite procedure to solve a problem; a flowchart is a diagrammatic (graphical) representation of that algorithm using standard symbols.
What is machine language and why is it called the only language a computer directly understands?
Machine language is code written in binary (0s and 1s); it is the only language the CPU executes directly without translation, which is why all other languages must be converted into it.
