• Syntactic

• Declarative

Which programming paradigm is most closely associated with modifying program state through statements?

• Imperative

• Declarative

• Object-Oriented

• Functional

Which programming paradigm is characterized by the use of objects and classes?

• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

• Procedural Programming

• Declarative Programming

• Functional Programming

Which of the following is an example of an Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) language?

• Java

• Assembly

• SQL

• Prolog

What is the primary advantage of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)?

• Code reuse through inheritance and encapsulation

• Faster execution than other paradigms

• Requires no planning before coding

• It eliminates the need for variables

Which of these is NOT a core concept of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)?

• Encapsulation

• Inheritance

• Polymorphism

• Compilation

Which term describes the ability of different classes to be treated as instances of the same class through inheritance?

• Polymorphism

• Encapsulation

• Abstraction

• Overloading

Which programming paradigm is based on defining rules and facts rather than explicit instructions?

• Declarative Programming

• Procedural Programming

• Object-Oriented Programming

• Event-Driven Programming

Which of the following best describes Declarative Programming?

• It focuses on what should be done rather than how it should be done

• It uses loops and conditionals to manipulate program state

• It relies only on object interactions

• It is always executed faster than imperative programs
