Discuss ISC2 CSSLP Exam Topic 6 Question 48

What are the differences between managed and unmanaged code technologies?

Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose two.

AManaged code is referred to as Hex code, whereas unmanaged code is referred to as byte
code.

BC and C++ are the examples of managed code, whereas Java EE and Microsoft.NET are the
examples of unmanaged code.

CManaged code executes under management of a runtime environment, whereas unmanaged
code is executed by the CPU of a computer system.

DManaged code is compiled into an intermediate code format, whereas unmanaged code is
compiled into machine code.

Suggested Answer: C, D

Programming languages are categorized into two technologies:

1.Managed code: This computer program code is compiled into an intermediate code format. Managed code is referred to as byte code. It

executes under the management of a runtime environment. Java EE and Microsoft.NET are the examples of managed code.

2.Unmanaged code: This computer code is compiled into machine code. Unmanaged code is executed by the CPU of a computer system. C

and C++ are the examples of unmanaged code.

Answer A is incorrect. Managed code is referred to as byte code.

Answer B is incorrect. C and C++ are the examples of unmanaged code, whereas Java EE and Microsoft.NET are the examples of

managed code.

Hex code vs byte code? Sounds off to me.

Managed code is compiled to intermediate code, that's a fact!

Wait, isn't C++ unmanaged?

Goldie 12 months ago

Totally agree, unmanaged code goes straight to the CPU!

Managed code runs in a runtime environment, right?

I definitely remember that unmanaged code is directly executed by the CPU, but I'm confused about the intermediate code part.

I feel like I studied something about how managed code is executed differently than unmanaged code, but I can't recall the details.

I remember that Java and .NET are managed, but I thought C and C++ were unmanaged. This question is tricky!

I think managed code runs in a runtime environment, but I'm not sure if that's the same as being compiled into intermediate code.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the SAP system parameters requirement. The other requirements seem pretty clear, but I'm not sure how to validate the SAP-specific parameters.

Okay, let's see here. The question is asking about a feature to store PDF documents for the sales team. I'm a bit unsure about some of these options, but I'll give it my best shot.

I think the right domains might include organization and information, but I'm not entirely sure. It feels like that's what we discussed in class.
