1. What does a programmer do first to use an existing Include the library
programming library?
2. What relationship is common among a program- Functions all relate to the
ming library's functions? same purpose.
3. What is an advantage of using a programming li- The code has already been
brary? tested.
4. Which language is dynamically typed? Python
5. Which language is not built on object-oriented de- C
sign principles?
6. A language substantially supports a programmer Object-oriented
creating items like person, teacher, and students.
Each item has internal data and some operations.
Which characteristic describes that language?
7. A programmer wants a compiler to report an error Statically typed
if an integer variable is assigned with a string.
Which kind of language should the programmer
use?
8. A language uses tags around text to indicate how Markup
that text should be formatted.
Which characteristic describes a language having
such tags?
