Outline how a sub-procedure can be considered an example of abstraction.

A sub-procedure is a section of code in a program that does a specific job; It can be called by name when needed without naming the details as these are wrapped

For an identified application, explain why a binary search would be preferred to a linear search.

It is already sorted n needs to be searched in the least amount of time; Is faster because binary search divides and searches smaller blocks of data

Is there a need for a translation process from a higher level language to machine code.If so explain the types of translators.

Yes.1. A Compiler translates the whole source program into object program at once.2. An Interpreter does the translation line by line.

Identify 2 similarities and 2 differences betweeen a Bubble Sort and Selection Sort

Simi are both use nested loops n each time reducing the inner loop. Diff areBubble sort swaps adjacent items each time it goes through the list;
