BSCS 3-3 : Principles of Programming Languages - Quiz # 1

One of the characteristics that makes a good programming language is by having a clear, simple and unity on it, which means?

• Program structure reflects the logical structure of algorithm

• Being able to combine various language features systematically in which every combination of features is meaningful

• Simple readable program is easy to write and easy to decipher once it needs modification

• Transportability of the resulting programs from the computer on which they are developed to other computer systems

This refers to the rules that specify the correct combined sequence of symbols that can be used to form a correct structured program using a given programming language

• Syntax

• Tokens

• Semantic

• Lexemes

This refers to the character strings assembled from the character stream of a program, which correspond to specific grammatical elements of that language

• Syntax

• Tokens

• Semantic

• Lexemes

These are the building blocks of a program’s grammatical structure, representing such basic elements as identifiers, numeric_literals, and specific keywords and operators of the language

• Syntax

• Tokens

• Semantic

• Lexemes

Which of the following statement is not true about lexemes?

• Lexemes of a programming language includes numeric literals, operators, and special words, among others.

• Lexemes are partitioned into groups, for example the names of variables, methods, classes, and so forth in a programming language form a group called identifiers

• Each lexeme group is represented by a name, or token

• None of the mentioned

Which characteristics of a good programming language describes the relationship between different features in a way that they have minimal effect on each other when they are combined?

• Ease of Program Verification

• Naturalness

• Orthogonality

• Portability

This refers as one of the classes of programming environments in which the processing of data are per group.

• Batch processing environment

• Inter Active Environment

• Embedded System Environment

• Programming Environment

In principles of programming languages, this concept is the process of associating attributes with names, specifying the exact nature of an attribute, that for each entity, attribute information is contained in a repository

• Binding

• Naming Variables

• Constant

• Lifetime

A programming paradigm that emphasizes the computation of values by the use of expressions and building blocks of the program.

• Imperative Languages

• Functional Languages

• Object Oriented Languages

• Concurrent Languages

This type of binding is done at the time or during program execution.

• Binding Time

• Static Binding

• Dynamic Binding

• Early Binding
