Programming Paradigms

What is the primary purpose of classifying programming languages into different paradigms?

• To organize them by the age they were developed

• To categorize them based on their features and style of programming

• To determine which programming language is the most popular

• To price them differently based on their capabilities

Why is understanding various programming paradigms crucial in software development?

• It helps in choosing the right language for a specific problem

• It is required for software maintenance only

• It assists in hardware selection for projects

• It is only useful for academic purposes

What is a key characteristic of the procedural programming paradigm?

• Focuses on object-oriented models

• Uses primarily event-driven techniques

• Emphasizes the use of variables, loops, and conditionals

• Based on the principles of quantum computing

Which of the following is NOT an example of a procedural programming language?

• C

• Python

• Pascal

• Java

What does structured programming emphasize in procedural programming?

• Object inheritance and polymorphism

• Use of sequence, selection, and iteration including recursion

• Data encapsulation and method overriding

• Parallel processing and multithreading

Which programming paradigm organizes code into objects that encapsulate data and behavior, promoting concepts like inheritance and polymorphism?

• Procedural programming

• Functional programming

• Object-oriented programming

• Logic programming

What are the key principles of the object-oriented programming paradigm?

• Sequence, selection, iteration

• Abstraction, inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation

• Recursion, concurrency, type systems

• Modularity, domain-specific languages, declarative programming

Which of the following languages is NOT typically associated with the object-oriented programming paradigm?

• Java

• Python

• C++

• Haskell

What is the primary focus of the declarative programming paradigm?

• How a program should accomplish tasks

• Why a program is necessary

• What a program should accomplish

• When a program should execute tasks

Which of the following languages is commonly used in the declarative programming paradigm for database queries?

• Python

• Java

• SQL

• C++
