Procedure Oriented Programming (POP)
What does POP stand for?
Procedure Oriented Programming.
p.2
Introduction to Programming Languages
What is the primary purpose of language?
To build communication between persons, machines, or computers.
p.4
Compiler vs Interpreter
What does an interpreter do if it encounters an error?
It stops executing the program at that statement and does not proceed further.
p.3
High Level Programming Languages
What feature do high level languages have that aids programmers?
A set of grammar that helps in writing programs and identifying errors.
p.2
Types of Programming Languages
What are the three main types of programming languages?
Low Level Languages, High Level Languages, Middle Level Languages.
p.6
Procedure Oriented Programming (POP)
What is the benefit of using User Defined Functions (UDF) in C?
It makes the program simpler and easier to understand.
p.3
Middle Level Programming Languages
How does middle level programming compare to low level programming?
It is easier for programming.
p.4
Compiler vs Interpreter
What does a compiler do?
Checks the entire program for errors and produces a complete machine language program if error-free.
p.2
Introduction to Programming Languages
Why do human beings use different languages?
For effective communication in different regions.
p.8
Structure and Basics of C Programming
What is the structure of the main function in a C program?
main() { declaration part; executable part; }
p.6
High Level Programming Languages
How does the execution speed of C compare to High Level Programming Languages?
C has a faster execution speed.
p.3
High Level Programming Languages
What do all high level languages require to convert code into machine code?
A compiler or interpreter.
p.3
High Level Programming Languages
Can you name some examples of high level programming languages?
Cobol, Fortran, Basic, Java.
p.2
Low Level Programming Languages
Does Low Level Programming Language require a translator?
No, it does not require a translator like a compiler or interpreter.
p.3
Middle Level Programming Languages
How does middle level programming compare to high level programming in terms of execution speed?
It is faster for execution.
p.4
Compiler vs Interpreter
How does an interpreter differ from a compiler?
An interpreter translates one statement at a time and executes it if error-free.
p.5
Compiler vs Interpreter
How does an interpreter find errors in a program?
An interpreter checks and executes each statement one at a time, making error finding easier.
p.5
Compiler vs Interpreter
Why does an interpreter take more time for program execution?
An interpreter translates and executes each statement one by one, which takes more time.
Why is C referred to as the 'mother language'?
Because it is considered the base for other programming languages.
p.3
Translation and Translators
Give an example of translation in programming.
Text to Binary or Binary to Text.
p.4
Compiler vs Interpreter
What is the execution process of an interpreter?
It continues translating and executing statements until the last statement is processed.
Who developed the C language and in what year?
Dennis Ritchie developed the C language in 1972 at AT&T Laboratories.
What was the first programming language developed in 1960?
ALGOL (ALGOrithmic Language).
p.2
Low Level Programming Languages
How does a machine understand Low Level Programming?
It can directly understand it with fast execution speed.
p.5
Compiler vs Interpreter
Which takes less time, a compiler or an interpreter?
A compiler takes less time because it translates and executes all statements at the same time.
p.8
Structure and Basics of C Programming
What should you do in the assignment work related to C programming?
