16
Q

codes would be easier to understand and more maintainable if
you break the logic into steps, and encompass each step in its own subroutine or function.

A

Structured design

17
Q

done by recognizing the major components of the solution, expressing the
solution as a sequence of major components, and then expanding the major components similarly.

A

Top-down structured design

18
Q

identifying small functions and subroutines present in the design, and moving up towards more complex procedure

A

Bottom up-design

19
Q

It is an idealized pattern of usage under which some agent can operate.

A

Programming Paradigm

20
Q

It is characterized by programming with states and commands that
modify the states.

A

Imperative programming paradigm

21
Q

It takes a declarative approach to problem solving.

A

Logical programming paradigm

22
Q

It takes a declarative approach to problem solving.

A

Logical programming paradigm

23
Q

It is based on functional expressions and the evaluation of these
expressions.

A

Functional programming paradigm

24
Q

Object-oriented programming paradigm. It is a paradigm in which real world objects are viewed as
separate entities having their own state and exhibiting their own behaviours.

A

Object-oriented programming paradigm

25
Q

is defined as a system of communication.

A

Programming Language

26
Q

use symbols to build words.

A

Written Language

27
Q

is the lowest level of programming language

A

Machine Language

28
Q

is the lowest level of programming language

A

Machine Language

29
Q

are similar to machine language. But in contrast, assembly language is much easier to understand than machine language. Instead of using 1’s and 0’s, to specify machine instructions, programmers use mnemonics

A

Low level languages

30
Q

enable a programmer to write programs that are more or less independent of a particular type of computer

A

High-level language

31
Q

is a program that translates program written in a high-level language into machine language.

A

Compilers

32
Q

is a program that translates program written in a high-level language into machine language.

A

Compilers

33
Q

translates and executes the program line by line.

A

Interpreters
