PRACTICE IT NOW TO SHARPEN YOUR CONCEPT AND KNOWLEDGE
1. What language has slogan ‘write once run anywhere’?
- FORTRAN
- LISP
- JAVA
- COBOL
- C
C. JAVA
2. How is Scheme opposite to Common Lisp?
- Scheme is large and complex; Common Lisp is small.
- Common Lisp is not an ANSI standard; Scheme is.
- Scheme is exclusively statically scoped; Common Lisp supports dynamic scoping.
- Common Lisp is interpreted; Scheme is compiled.
A. Scheme is large and complex; Common Lisp is small.
3. Why must local variables in Lisp generally be allocated in the heap, rather than on the Stack
- Because we don’t know their sizes at compile time.
- Because local variables in Lisp have unlimited extent.
- Because Lisp subroutines don’t follow strict LIFO calling conventions.
- Because the Lisp garbage collector is unable to manipulate addresses in the stack.
B. Because local variables in Lisp have unlimited extent.
4. through Q 38 refer to the following program in Scheme: (define add-n (lambda (n) (lambda (m) (+ m n)))) (let ((n 4) (f (add-n 3))) (+ n (f 2))) What does this program print?
- 8
- 9
- 10
- none of the above
B. 9
5. What would the program print if Scheme used dynamic scope and shallow binding?
- 8
- 9
- 10
- none of the above
B. 9
6. What would be the program print if scheme used dynamic scope and deep binding?
- 8
- 9
- 10
- none of the above
B. 9
7. The fact that the program contains two variables named n is an example of
- Overloading
- Aliasing
- Both
- neither
D. neither
8. What would happen (in real scheme) if we reversed the order of the two definitions in the let block?
- Nothing: the program would behave the same
- The output would change,because f would capture a different n
- The interpreter would complain that n is being used before it is declared
- The interpreter would complain that the meaning of n is ambiguous
A. Nothing: the program would behave the same
9. Which of the following is not an example of a high-level programming language?
- Machine language
- Assembly language
- High level language
- Natural language
D. Natural language
10. Which of the following is not an example of a high-level programming language?
- C++
- PASCAL
- Babbage
- BASIC
C. Babbage
