ANSWERS
The semantic structure of imperative programming languages normally include which of
the following validations - Answer- type matching, parameters type in a function
declaration should match these in the function call, unicity
(T/F) Functional programming languages are low-level languages - Answer- False
(T/F) compilation of a program is to execute all the statements of the program
completely - Answer- False
They syntactic structure of imperative programming languages normally include which
of the following units? A. Operators B. keywords C. identifiers D. conditional statements
E. loop statements F. variable declaration - Answer- D, E, F
What programming language uses two-step translation with intermediate codes for
execution? - Answer- JAVA
(T/F) Interpretation of a program is the direct execution of one statement at a time
sequentially. - Answer- True
(T/F) during compilation, all statements of a program in a high-level language are
converted to a low-level language. - Answer- True
A set of primary values and the operations defined on these values - Answer- data type
The lexical structure of all programming languages are similar and include which of the
following units? A. Identifiers B. Loop statements C. Keywords D. operators E. literals F.
variable declaration - Answer- A, C, D, E
The principle behind the object-oriented paradigm consists of a number of programming
concepts, which does not include: - Answer- Pointers and Arrays
Interpreter - Answer- Translates in runtime and executes each statement in the high
level language
, Intermediate code - Answer- makes the language and the compiler machine-
independent
(T/F) A program in C must contain at least one main - Answer- True
Allows us to define the allowed values for a new type - Answer- enumeration (integer
constants) labels that represent an integer value
composite data type declaration that defines a physically grouped list of variables to be
placed under one name in a block of memory - Answer- structure(similar to a java class;
but DOES NOT allow methods)
A programming language can belong to multiple paradigms (T/F) - Answer- True
Features of the imperative or procedural paradigm includes - Answer- Manipulation of
named data(variables) and conditional statements
(T/F) Logic programming languages divide the program into reasonable sized pieces
named functions or procedures or modules or subroutines - Answer- False
Direct execution of one statement at a time sequentially - Answer- Interpretation
simpler semantics and computation expressions in terms of mathematical function are
features of which paradigm? - Answer- Functional
Expressing computation in terms of logic predicates is a feature of which paradigm? -
Answer- Logic
Inheritance, classes & objects are features of which paradigm - Answer- Object
Oriented
A set of principles, concepts and methods that is commonly accepted by members of a
group or community - Answer- Programming Paradigm
(T/F) Prolog is a functional programming language? - Answer- False
(T/F) the compiler executes the program - Answer- False

int foo(int *n) {
*n = 30;
}int main() {
int i=15;
foo(&i);
printf("i=%d\n",i);
i=10;
