Principles of Programming Quiz

Which programming paradigm works sequentially and is made up of a series of commands intended to be run one after another?

• Event-driven

• Procedural

• Visual

• Object-oriented

What is the main benefit of using visual programming languages?

• They allow for faster development time

• They make it easier for beginners to learn

• They are ideal for larger or more advanced problems

• They are not limited by screen space

What is the main characteristic of event-driven programming?

• It follows a linear flow of the program

• It is determined by user actions, sensor outputs, or messages from other programs

• It does not require the use of listeners

• It is not commonly used in modern languages

Which of the following is an example of a mark-up language commonly used in web applications?

• HTML

• Java

• C++

• Python

What is the main purpose of encapsulation in object-oriented programming?

• To create a new instance of a class

• To define the methods and properties for a group of similar objects

• To allow multiple types of objects to work in a given situation

• To hide the implementation of a class and control access to its methods and attributes

What is the main difference between high-level and low-level languages?

• Low-level languages are easier to understand and program

• High-level languages are easier to learn to code

• High-level languages are more efficient than low-level languages

• Low-level languages are ideal when execution speed is not critical

What is the main reason for using low-level languages in some scenarios?

• They are more efficient than high-level languages

• They allow for faster development time

• They result in smaller executable programs

• They are easier to understand and program

What is the main characteristic of procedural programming?

• It is the simplest programming paradigm

• It allows for the use of graphical blocks to represent commands

• It is made up of a series of commands intended to be run one after another

• It is determined by user actions, sensor outputs, or messages from other programs

What is the main purpose of polymorphism in object-oriented programming?

• To hide the implementation of a class and control access to its methods and attributes

• To enable the programmer to define different methods for derived classes

• To allow multiple types of objects to work in a given situation

• To define the methods and properties for a group of similar objects

What is the main characteristic of mark-up languages?

• They are used to format the output and the user interface

• They add commands to a text document to give instructions to the program reading the file

• They are used to define the methods and properties for a group of similar objects

• They are used for structuring and marking-up data for storage
