• Encapsulation

• Polymorphism

• Recursion

What is the main focus when describing the features of declarative languages?

• The steps needed to solve a problem

• The end result of what the program should accomplish

Understanding the need for and characteristics of a variety of programming paradigms helps in:

• Choosing the correct programming language for a task

• Ignoring the underlying hardware architecture

• Focusing solely on procedural programming

• Avoiding the learning of new programming languages

Which of the following is a characteristic of object-oriented programming languages?

• They are based on the concept of "objects" which can contain data and code to manipulate that data.

• They execute instructions in a step-by-step manner.

• They are mainly used for system programming.

• They do not allow for the creation of complex data types.

What is a procedural programming language primarily characterized by?

• Emphasizing on objects and their interactions.

• Focusing on the step-by-step execution of a sequence of instructions.

• Using multiple threads of execution concurrently.

• Storing data in a hierarchical database structure.
