What do PEEK and POKE stand for in software programming?


Question:
1.In a typical IBM personal computer compatible the contents of a memory location can be assembled from BASIC using the PEEK function while data could be written to a memory location using the POKE command.It is desired to test the integrity (PASS/FAILURE)of the first 32K memory locations in a microcomputer.Assuming BASIC(program) is loaded in high memory(above 32K)in the microcomputer map of memory,write a BASIC program to test the integrity of each 8-bit location
2.In typical IBM personal computer compatible microcomputer,peripheral devices are addressed as to their memory locations via BASIC program using the INP function to read data from an 8-bit location.If a certain microcomputer is comfigured such that it's printer status port is located atperipheral decimal address 888(Hex379), write a BASIC program to continously scan the printer status port liners for any change in bit information and display the bit number that has undergone a change from it's previous state.

Answer:
PEEK read a 8bit value from any memory address
integer_variable = PEEK(address)

POKE write a 8bit value to a memory address (not all addresses may be written!)
POKE address, value
