Question 1

Programming Paradigm

Answer 1

A style of computer programming . Each programming language support tackling problems in different ways

4 major programming paradigms :
- Procedural
- Declarative
- Object-orientated
- Functional

Question 2

Procedural Programming

Answer 2

• Able to be applied to a wide range of problems
• Easy to write and interpret
• Written as a sequence of instructions and which are then carried out in a step-by-step manner

Question 3

Object-oriented Programming

Answer 3

Designed to :
- Abstract details of implementation away from the user
- Make code reusable
- Make programs easy to maintain

Question 4

Declarative Programming

Answer 4

User writes statements that describe the problem that needs to be solved and the language decides the best way of solving it

Question 5

Functional Programming

Answer 5

Statements are written as a series of functions which accept input data as arguments and return an output

Question 6

Procedural Programming Techniques

Answer 6

Uses a list of instructions telling a computer , step-by-step , what to do and usually has a linear order of execution from the first statement to the second

Question 7

Assembly Language

Answer 7

A low-level language which closely reflects how opcode and operands work

Question 8

Mnemonics

Answer 8

Assembly language instructions use abbreviations called mnemonics

For example :

Load ➡️ LDA
Store ➡️ STA
Subtract ➡️ SUB

Question 9

LMC

Answer 9

BRA - Branch always
BRZ - Branch if 0
BRP - Branch if 0 or positive
HLT - Ends LMC program
DAT - Data location
