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

Show Suggested Answer

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.

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.
