Programming Languages | MCQs

Explanation

 A computer program that translates one program's instructions at a time into machine language is called an Interpreter.

A compiler is a special program that translates a programming language's source code into machine code, bytecode or another programming language.

Examples of interpreted languages are JavaScript, Python, Perl, etc.

Explanation

The %c format specifier is used to represent a single character in C and similar programming languages.

It is commonly used with functions like printf() to display characters.

Explanation

Converter is not a standard module in the C programming process.

The main modules of C programming include Editor (for writing code), Compiler (for translating code), and Linker (for combining object files).

Explanation

An algorithm is a step-by-step, well-defined list of instructions written in natural or simple language to solve a specific problem.

It serves as a blueprint for writing a program or creating a flowchart.

Explanation

A function inside a function is called a Nested function.

Explanation

The rules of a programming language according to which statements are written are referred to as syntax.

Syntax defines the structure and format of valid statements in the language.

Explanation

Procedural languages are also known as third-generation languages (3GLs).

Examples of third-generation languages include C, C++, Java, FORTRAN, and PASCAL.

Explanation

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the standard markup language used to create web pages and display content on the internet.

It is the most widely used language on the web.

It is the backbone of a website's structure and content.

Explanation

COBOL stands for Common Business-Oriented Language

It is a programming language specifically designed for business, finance, and administrative systems.

It was designed in 1959 by CODASYL

And was partly based on the programming language FLOW-MATIC

Designed by Grace Hopper

Stable release: ISO/IEC 1989:2023 / 2023

Explanation

Vacuum tubes as the basic components for memory and circuitry for CPU .

These tubes, like electric bulbs, produced a lot of heat and the installations used to fuse frequently.

First generation (1940 - 1956) vacuum tubes as a major piece of technology. 

The ENIAC is  example of 1st generation computer.

Second generation (1956 - 1963) use of transistors.

Third generation (1964 - 1971)  use of Integrated circuits.

Fourth generation (1972 - 2010) use of the microprocessor.

Fifth generation (2010 to present) use Artificial intelligence.
