Exploring Programming Paradigms and Languages

What is a programming paradigm?

• A programming paradigm is a method for debugging code.

• A programming paradigm is a style or approach to programming that defines how code is structured and executed.

• A programming paradigm is a type of programming language.

• A programming paradigm is a specific programming tool.

Which programming paradigm focuses on the use of functions?

• Procedural programming

• Object-oriented programming

• Functional programming

• Declarative programming

What is the main characteristic of object-oriented programming?

• Use of global variables for data storage.

• Inheritance of properties from a parent class.

• Sequential execution of code without objects.

• Encapsulation of data and behavior in objects.

Can you name a language that is primarily functional?

• Haskell

• C++

• Java

• Python

What paradigm is associated with the concept of 'state' and 'behavior'?

• Functional Programming

• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

• Procedural Programming

• Declarative Programming

Which programming language is known for its support of multiple paradigms?

• Java

• Python

• Ruby

• C++

What is the difference between compiled and interpreted languages?

• Compiled languages are executed line-by-line at runtime, while interpreted languages are pre-compiled to machine code.

• Compiled languages require an interpreter to run, while interpreted languages do not.

• Compiled languages are pre-compiled to machine code, while interpreted languages are executed line-by-line at runtime.

• Interpreted languages are faster than compiled languages due to their runtime execution.

How does procedural programming differ from object-oriented programming?

• Procedural programming allows for inheritance, while object-oriented programming does not.

• Procedural programming uses classes to define behavior, while object-oriented programming uses functions.

• Object-oriented programming is primarily focused on algorithms, while procedural programming emphasizes data structures.

• Procedural programming is function-based, while object-oriented programming is based on objects that encapsulate data and behavior.

What is the primary focus of declarative programming?

• To provide step-by-step instructions for the computer to follow.

• To optimize performance through low-level programming.

• To emphasize the use of objects and classes.

• To describe what the program should accomplish without specifying how to achieve it.

What is the main advantage of using a multi-paradigm programming language?

• It ensures that all code is written in a single paradigm.

• It allows developers to choose the best paradigm for the task at hand.

• It simplifies the learning process for beginners.

• It restricts the use of certain programming styles.
