Code that clearly specifies actions to be performed

Front (Question)

Name the 2 imperative programming paradigms.

Back (Answer)

Procedural Object-oriented

Front (Question)

What are the features of a procedural programming paradigm?

Back (Answer)

Can be applied to a wide range of problems Easy to write and interpret Written as a sequence of instructions Instructions are carried out sequentially

Front (Question)

What are the features of a object-oriented programming paradigm?

Back (Answer)

Suited to problems that can be broken into reusable components with simillar characteristics Based on objects formed from classes which have attributes and methods

Front (Question)

What are declarative programming paradigms?

Back (Answer)

States the desired result and programming language determines how best to obtain the result Details about how result is obtained are abstracted from user

Front (Question)

Name the 2 declarative programming paradigms.

Back (Answer)

Functional Logic

Front (Question)

What is the disadvantage of procedural language?

Back (Answer)

Not possible to solve all problems or may be inefficient to do so

Front (Question)

Name the 4 main programming structures of procedural programming.

Back (Answer)

Sequence Selection Iteration Recursion

Front (Question)

What is assembly language?

Back (Answer)

Low level language of mnemonics with a one-to-one relationship to machine code

#11

Back (Answer)

Adds the value at the given memory address to the value in the accumulator

#12

Front (Question)

What is the function of SUB?

Back (Answer)

Stores the value in the accumulator at the given memory address

#14

Front (Question)

What is the function of LDA?

Back (Answer)

#20

Front (Question)

What is the function of BRP?

Back (Answer)

Branches to a given address if the value in the accumulator is positive

#21

Front (Question)

What is the function of BRA?

Back (Answer)

Branches to a given address no matter the value in the accumulator

#22

Front (Question)

How are machine code instructions formed?

Back (Answer)

Opcode Operand

#23

Front (Question)

What is opcode?

Back (Answer)

Specifies the instruction to be performed & the addressing mode

#24

Front (Question)

What is operand?

Back (Answer)

A value related to the data on which the instruction is to be performed
