Q1:

A program that converts computer data into some code system other than the normal one is known as

A Encoder

B Simulation

C Emulator

D Coding

E None of the above

ANS:A - Encoder

Every information needs to be converted to machine code (means 0's and 1's) because computer only understands machine codes. We need something which can convert information to machine code.

Encoder is used for the same purpose (means to convert information to machine code) and Decoder is just opposite of encoder.
