COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED
What is the major improvement of structured programming languages over the
earlier programming languages?
Removing Goto statement from the language.
What programming paradigm does Fortran belong to?
imperative
Event-driven computing paradigm is to
define a set of events and write an event handler for each event.
What computing paradigm enforces stateless (no variable allowed)
programming?
functional
What programming language characteristics impact the readability of the
programs written in this language?
Control structures,
Syntax design, Data structures
If your program was designed to print "Hello World" ten (10) times, but during
execution, it printed eleven (11) times. What type of error is it?
Semantics Error
Which construct will have a loop when expressed in a syntax graph?
,switch
Which of the following cannot be checked by an imperative or object-oriented
compiler. Select all that applies.
semantics
During compilation, linker is used for ____
resolving external references (bring in code from other libraries).
If you like to see accurate debugging information, which of the following program
processing would you recommend?
interpretation
A final method in Java defines
an in-line function
Assume a function requires 20 lines of machine code and will be called 10 times
in the main program. You can choose to implement it using a function definition
or a macro definition. Compared with the function definition, macro definition will
lead the compiler to generate, for the entire program, ______
a longer machine code but with shorter execution time.
What is "func" in this C program example?
#include <stdio.h>
#define func(x, y) (x > y) ? y : x
int main(){
int x = 10;
, int y = 9;
int z = func(x, y);}
A macro
Which language will report a compilation error for the following snippet of code?
java
Explicit type conversion is commonly refer to as __________
casting
Converting an integer value 5 to a float number 5.0 takes
more than two machine instuctions
Implicit type conversion is commonly refer to as __________ .
coercion
(True or False) Sort orthogonality 1 and sort orthogonality 2 implies
compositional orthogonality.
TRUE
C/C++ has 2 pointer operators, which operator will return the address of a
variable?
Ampersand (&)
Given this snippet of code, what is the value of x after executing the last
statement?
int x = 10, *y;
y = &x;
y = y +1;
*y= 100;
