19. Game Programming Pre-Test Do not write on Pre-Test Write on provided notebook paper Will have 5 minutes to complete No talking/communicating during test

20. Computer Math Prefixes: K = kilo = 1,000 (thousand) M = mega = 1,000,000 (million) G = giga = 1,000,000,000 (billion) T = tera = 1,000,000,000,000 (trillion)

21. Computer Math CPU Speeds Measured in Hz (hertz) Means cycles per second The more cycles it can process, the faster it can run

22. Computer Math 1a. If a CPU is rated at 500 MHz, how many cycles can it process in a second? 500 times M (1,000,000) = 500,000,000 (500 million)

23. Computer Math 1b. If a CPU is rated at 1 GHz, how many cycles can it process in a second? 1 times G (1,000,000,000) = 1,000,000,000 (1 billion)

24. Computer Math 1c. If a CPU is rated at 950 MHz, how many cycles can it process in a second? 950 times M (1,000,000) = 950,000,000 (950 million)

25. Computer Math 1d. If a CPU is rated at 1.1 GHz, how many cycles can it process in a second? 1.1 times G (1,000,000,000) = 1,100,000,000 (1.1 billion)

26. Computer Math 1e. Which CPU is faster, one rated at 1.1 GHz, or one rated at 950 MHz? 1.1 GHz = 1,100,000,000 950 MHz = 950,000,000

27. Computer Math Hard Drive Capacity Measured in B (bytes) Means pieces of data More bytes on the hard drive = more data you can store

28. Computer Math 2a. If a hard drive holds 200 GB, how many pieces of data can it store? 200 times G (1,000,000,000) = 200,000,000,000 (200 billion)

29. Computer Math 2b. If a hard drive holds 1TB, how many pieces of data can it store? 1 times T (1,000,000,000,000) = 1,000,000,000,000 (1 trillion)

30. Computer Math 2c. If a hard drive holds 750 GB, how many pieces of data can it store? 750 times G (1,000,000,000) = 750,000,000,000 (750 billion)

31. Computer Math 2d. You need to have a total of 1TB of storage, and you already have a hard drive that holds 750GB. What is the smallest hard drive you can add and have 1TB of storage? 1TB (1,000,000,000,000) minus 750GB (750,000,000,000) = 250GB (250,000,000,000)
