Multi-Paradigm Programming with Modern C++ - On Programming Paradigms

The video explores the programming paradigms supported by C, highlighting its multi-paradigm nature. It delves into imperative and declarative styles, including functional programming, and discusses generic and concurrent programming. The challenges of using C, such as its complexity and memory management, are addressed. The video concludes with a toolbox metaphor to illustrate the diverse tools available in C for different programming tasks.

Which of the following best describes C's programming paradigm?

• Functional only

• Purely object-oriented

• Procedural only

• Multi-paradigm

What is a key characteristic of imperative programming?

• Relying on external libraries for functionality

• Specifying a sequence of commands to update program state

• Using templates for abstraction

• Specifying what to do, not how to do it

In declarative programming, what is emphasized?

• Memory management

• What to do, not how to do it

• Data structures

• Control flow

What is the purpose of generic programming in C?

• To enhance memory management

• To separate algorithm implementation from irrelevant details

• To improve object-oriented capabilities

• To simplify syntax

Which feature in C supports concurrent programming?

• Templates

• STL containers

• HTML

• Coroutines

What is a common challenge when learning C?

• No support for object-oriented programming

• Limited functionality

• Steep learning curve

• Lack of documentation

What metaphor is used to describe the features of C?

• A library

• A computer

• A toolbox

• A manual
