Accepted Answer

do while"

Question 3

C is an object-oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems.

Accepted Answer

Java"

Question 4

Although there is no precise definition of 3GLs,they are even further from machine language than fourth-generation languages,and,therefore,are much easier to use.

Accepted Answer

4GLs"

Question 5

____ values are values that represent one of two states-yes (true)or no (false).
A)Boolean
B)Character
C)String
D)Real

Accepted Answer

The Boolean data type can only represent two states- true or false, which align with the concept of yes or no. The other data types listed may represent a wider range of values or states.

Question 6

With a(n)sequence control structure,the direction that the program control takes depends on the results of a certain condition.

Accepted Answer

selection control structure"

Question 7

In a(n)procedural program,variables can be accessed and their values changed from any module in the program,as appropriate.

Accepted Answer

In procedural programming, variables can be accessed and modified from any module, as they are usually declared in a global scope.

Question 8

Much of the coding in a declarative programming language consists of mouse clicks to select instructions and issue commands to the program.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Much of the coding in a declarative...

Question 9

____ is a software development approach that continues the programming trend of breaking a software program into small and more manageable pieces that overlap in functionality as little as possible.
A)Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
B)Structured programming
C)Object Programming (OP)
D)Aspect-oriented programming (AOP)

Accepted Answer

The description given in the question closely matches the principles of aspect-oriented programming (AOP). AOP is a software development approach that focuses on breaking down the program into modular components and reducing the overlap between them. It does this by identifying cross-cutting concerns, such as logging or security, and separating them from the main program logic. This makes the code more modular and easier to manage. Option A, B, and C are programming paradigms, but they do not specifically address the problem of reducing overlap between software components.

Question 10

User documentation normally consists of a user's manual containing instructions for running the program,a description of software commands,and so forth.

Accepted Answer

User documentation typically includes a user's manual along with instructions and descriptions to help the user utilize the software effectively.

Question 11

Run time errors are noticed after all syntax errors are corrected and the program can be executed.

Accepted Answer

Run time errors occur during the execution of a program, after all syntax errors have been corrected. Syntax errors, on the other hand, prevent the program from being executed at all.

Question 12

Program coding is the process of writing the actual program steps in the proper format for a particular programming language.

Accepted Answer

Program coding involves writing the actual program steps using the syntax and rules of a specific programming language.

Question 13

Ruby on Rails is a framework for developing dynamic Web applications that is written in the Ruby programming language

Accepted Answer

Ruby on Rails is indeed a framework for developing dynamic Web applications and it is written in the Ruby programming language.

Question 14

____ programming focuses on the step-by-step instructions that tell the computer what to do to solve a problem.
A)Object-oriented
B)Aspect-oriented
C)Procedural
D)Declarative

Accepted Answer

Procedural programming is based on procedures, also known as routines or subroutines, that contain a series of sequential steps to perform a specific task or solve a specific problem. The focus is on the algorithms and flow control that dictate the order in which the program executes its instructions. Object-oriented programming, on the other hand, is based on objects that encapsulate data and behavior, and it is concerned with modeling complex systems based on their real-world properties and relationships. Aspect-oriented programming is a programming paradigm that focuses on cross-cutting concerns such as logging, security, and error handling, and it is designed to allow those concerns to be addressed separately from the main codebase. Declarative programming is a style of programming that focuses on describing the problem domain and its constraints rather than specifying a sequence of steps to solve it. Examples of declarative programming languages include SQL (for querying databases) and Prolog (for symbolic reasoning).

Question 15

In a computer program,____ are named memory locations that are defined for that particular program and are used to store the current value of data items used in the program.
A)cells
B)variables
C)objects
D)buses

Accepted Answer

Variables are named memory locations within a program that store values for data items used within that program. Cells refer to specific locations within a spreadsheet program and are not necessarily used to store values within a specific program. Objects are a more advanced programming concept that involve bundling data and methods together, and buses refer to the physical pathways over which data is transmitted within a computer system.

Question 16

Procedural programming utilizes procedures,which are also called modules or subprograms.

Accepted Answer

This statement is true. Procedural programming depends on the use of procedures, which are also known as modules or subprograms, to sequence commands to be followed by a computer.

Question 17

Two of the most significant approaches to programming are procedural programming and ____.
A)aspect-oriented programming
B)object-oriented programming
C)function programming
D)virtual programming

Accepted Answer

Object-oriented programming is the other significant approach to programming alongside procedural programming. Object-oriented programming utilizes objects and classes to organize and structure code. The other choices (A, C, D) are other programming paradigms but are not as widely used or significant as procedural and object-oriented programming.

Question 18

Java source code cannot be converted into object code using a Python compiler.

Accepted Answer

Java source code and Python source code are two different programming languages and require their respective compilers to convert source code into object code. A Python compiler cannot understand Java syntax and therefore cannot convert Java source code into object code.

Question 19

A(n)macro is a sequence of saved actions (such as keystrokes,mouse clicks,and menu selections)that can be replayed whenever needed within the application program in which it was created.

Accepted Answer

This is the definition of a macro.

Question 20

-The figure above shows the selection control structure.

Accepted Answer

sequence"
