Quiz 1 CSC305

Which of the following is NOT a criteria that is taken into consideration when selecting a programming paradigm or language to develop an application?

• The domain for which the application is developed

• The availability of compilers or interpreters for the language

• The degree of human interactivity required for the application

• The history of the programming paradigm

A compilation process involves 3 different types of analyzer. Select the correct order of analyzer used in translating source code to intermediate code.

• lexical analyzer - semantic analyzer -syntax analyzer

• lexical analyzer - syntax analyzer - semantic analyzer

• syntax analyzer - semantic analyzer - lexical analyzer

• semantic analyzer - lexical analyzer - syntax analyzer

The followings are the goals of syntax analyzer EXCEPT

• to construct hierarchical structures

• to detect syntax errors

• to ignore comment

• to produce a parse tree

The code generator translates the optimized intermediate code version of the program into an equivalent __________.

• assembly language

• machine language

• programming language

• source language

The first high level programming language was designed in 1954 by IBM specifically for scientific programming and it was known as ___________.

• C++

• ADA

• Fortran

• Cobol

Listed below are key concepts of programming languages EXCEPT __________.

• computation

• human-readability

• machine-readability

• security

The earliest functional language is ________ which was developed by John McArthy at MIT in the late 1950s and was based on lambda calculus.

• LISP

• COBOL

• Pascal

• C

In __________ paradigm, the program is considered as a series of steps, each of which performs a calculation, retrieves input, or produces output whereas in __________ paradigm, the implementation is rule-based.

• logic, object oriented

• functional, imperative

• imperative, logic

• logic, functional

"A programming paradigm that treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids state and mutable data. It emphasizes the application of functions. It has its root in the lambda calculus. A formal system developed in the 1930s to investigate function definitions, function application and recursion."

The above programming paradigm refers to __________

• structured programming

• object-oriented programming

• functional programming

• logic programming

" Speech recognition, natural language, expert system and computer vision".

The above statements are referring to example of application system in __________.

• business application

• scientific computing

• artificial intelligence

• web application
