Exploring Programming Paradigms and Languages

What is a distinguishing feature of procedural programming?

• It focuses on objects and their interactions.

• It is based on a sequence of instructions.

• It relies on events to trigger actions.

• It uses visual elements to create programs.

Which of the following is a characteristic of event-driven programming?

• It uses classes and objects.

• It is primarily used for web development.

• It relies on user actions or events to trigger code execution.

• It is written in machine code.

What is the primary purpose of a mark-up language?

• To perform complex calculations.

• To define the structure and presentation of text.

• To create interactive applications.

• To compile code into machine language.

How do high-level languages differ from low-level languages?

• High-level languages are closer to machine code.

• Low-level languages are easier for humans to read and write.

• High-level languages are more abstract and easier for humans to understand.

• Low-level languages are used for web development.

In object-oriented programming, what is the relationship between an object, a class, and a method?

• A class is an instance of an object, and a method is a function within a class.

• An object is a blueprint for a class, and a method is a variable within an object.

• A class is a blueprint for an object, and a method is a function that operates on the object.

• An object is a method, and a class is a collection of objects.

Which situation would require the use of a low-level language?

• Developing a mobile application.

• Writing a web page using HTML.

• Programming a microcontroller for a washing machine.

• Creating a database management system.

Which type of language is best suited for developing a web page?

(a)  

What is the first stage in the compilation process?

(a)  

During the compilation process, what is the purpose of syntax analysis?

• To check the meaning of the code.

• To convert code into machine language.

• To ensure the code follows grammatical rules.

• To optimise the code for performance.

What is the role of code optimisation in the compilation process?

• To translate high-level code into machine code.

• To improve the efficiency and performance of the code.

• To construct a symbol table.

• To analyse the semantics of the code.
