Correct Answers 2025/2026
Why are most programming languages similar to each other? - Correct Answer--They
share the same mathematical foundation (Boolean)
-Similar Functionality
-Based on the same hardware and instruction sets
-Common design goals
-Designers share their design experiences
What is a programming Paradigm? - Correct Answer-A set of basic principles, concepts,
and methods for how a computation or algorithm is expressed.
Define the imperative/procedural programming paradigm. - Correct Answer-it expresses
computation by fully specified and fully controlled manipulation of named data in a
stepwise fashion.
Describe the process of a imperative/procedural program.
(Stored Program Concept - von Neumann machine) - Correct Answer--Data values are
initially stored in variables
-Variables are read from memory
-Then manipulated in the ALU
-Then stored back in the same or different variable locations
-Finally, values are sent to the I/O devices
Name some imperative/procedural programming languages. - Correct Answer--Fortran -
Algol -Ada -Pascal -C
Object-Oriented paradigm - Correct Answer-basically the same as
imperative/procedural except that variables are put into classes of objects. Objects are
the main building blocks of programs.
-Smalltalk -C++ -Java -C#
Describe the Functional/Applicative paradigm - Correct Answer--No concept of memory
locations
-Takes a number of values as input and produce a single return value
-Return value cannot be stored to memory, it has to be used as final output or
immediately as the parameter value of another function
-Based on Lambda Calculus
List some functional paradigms - Correct Answer--ML -SML -Lisp/Scheme
