is possible only on Linux
9
What is the output of this code?
I Java
I Java
IJava
Iava
10
The functional programming paradigm... (mark all correct answers)
programs which evaluate mathematical functions, it facilitates code reuse
usually results in relatively short code and full of control flows
code reuse is impossible as all calculations are done in one class
11
Some IDEs include intelligent code completion. This means that...
the IDE automatically takes backups of your code
the IDE automatically builds/compiles your code
the IDE suggests what you might want to type next
12
A computer program... (mark any correct answer)
process information and outputs data
is something which the developer writes
is a list of instructions written in a programming language
can be a list of instructions written in plain English
13
The syntax of a programming language... (mark any correct answer)
is made up by a set of rules which needs to be followed
are comments that you put in your code
helps to define whether a piece of code is valid or invalid
can be changed by any programmer

N
16
The computer... (mark any correct answer)
can only do what it is instructed to do
without programs is still a very intelligent machine
without programs is not an intelligent machine
using programs, can process data and output information
17
The procedural programming paradigm...
must make use of a lot classes and instances of these classes
can only be used in web-application
makes use of procedures/routines and is easy to understand, use, and test
is very difficult to use and requires a particular OS
18
If you were to write a desktop application you might choose... (mark any correct answer)
JavaScript
Java
HTML
C#
19
An IDE is a tool which... (mark any correct answer)
helps developers/testers to develop, test, and debug the program
helps the end-user to run the program
helps developers to code the program
20
Pseudo-code is used... (mark any correct answer)
during the design stage
after the actual coding
to facilitate understanding to humans
when the programmer is still planning what to do/how to do something

has a name
is a program which can change
is a storage location intended to hold an image
is a storage location intended to hold a value
23
The declarative programming paradigm...
relatively short code, expressing only logic without control flows
contains a lot of complicated control-flow
focusing on control flow and subroutines
usually results in long code
24

29
When using, the event-driven programming paradigm... (mark any correct answer)
program flow is determined randomly depending on the OS
program flow is determined by events
you usually associate code (actions) with events
usually the program make use of a GUI
30
Different programming languages exist because... (mark any correct answer)
developers can prefer one over another
each have their strengths and weaknesses
