Programming Paradigms

Access specifiers are an example of:

• Simple data abstraction

• Structured control abstraction

• Unit data abstraction

• Simple control abstraction

Unit abstractions facilitate:

• Reliability

• Reusability

• Maintainability

• Scalability

Which of the following is NOT an example of control abstraction

• Switch statement

• Assignment operation

• Procedure calls

• Class

Packages in Java are considered as what type of abstraction

• Data abstraction

• Control abstraction

What is a computational paradigm?

• Steps of solving a problem

• Steps to programming

• Steps to a programming language

• Both a method of problem solving and an approach to programminglanguage design

Which is NOT a computational paradigm?

• Imperative

• Object oriented

• Logic

• Java

(True/False)

Declarative languages make use of sequence, selection and iteration. Justify.

(a)  

Answer explanation

Sequences, selections and iterations usually change the state of a program – which is what an imperative programming style would do. Declarative programming expresses logic of computation without talking about its control flow.

Which paradigm makes use of methods and attributes to encapsulate data in classes?

• Declarative

• Imperative

• Object oriented

• Low level
