  • 2. 

    Define algorithm

    Explanation
    An algorithm is a logical solution that provides a step-by-step approach to solving a problem or completing a task. It is a systematic way of solving problems that involves a series of well-defined instructions or rules. Algorithms can be used in various fields such as computer science, mathematics, and engineering to solve complex problems efficiently. They provide a clear and organized approach to problem-solving, ensuring that the desired outcome is achieved.

    "What"-oriented programming

    • Symbolic

    • Functional

    • Algorithm

    • Logic

    Correct Answer
    A. Functional
    Explanation
    Functional programming is a programming paradigm that focuses on using functions to perform computations. It emphasizes immutability and avoids changing state or mutable data. In functional programming, functions are treated as first-class citizens, meaning they can be assigned to variables, passed as arguments, and returned as results. This approach allows for code that is concise, modular, and easier to reason about. Therefore, the term "What"-oriented programming is most closely associated with functional programming.

    "Rule-based" programming

    • Symbolic

    • Algorithm

    • Functional

    • Logic

    Correct Answer
    A. Logic
    Explanation
    The given options "symbolic", "algorithm", "functional", and "logic" are all different paradigms or approaches in programming. "Rule-based" programming refers to a programming paradigm that uses a set of rules to determine the behavior of a program. Out of the given options, "logic" is the most closely related to rule-based programming as it involves using logical rules and conditions to solve problems. Therefore, "logic" is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    This paradigm follows a given set of steps

    • Imperative

    • Symbolic

    • Functional

    • Logic

    Correct Answer
    A. Imperative
    Explanation
    This question is asking for the paradigm that follows a given set of steps. The correct answer is "imperative." In imperative programming, the focus is on how to achieve a certain result by specifying a sequence of steps or commands to be executed. It is a procedural programming paradigm that emphasizes explicit control flow and mutable state. This paradigm is commonly used in languages like C, Java, and Python.
