Structured Programming Languages Part 3 - Quiz

MIDTERM EXAMINATION - Matching Type

Questions and Answers

1.

Extended the idea to design an assembly program that combine chosen subroutines and allocate storage.
2.

Investigated symbolic computations and developed a set of requirements for doing such computations.

Explanation
John Mc Carthy is the correct answer because he is the person who investigated symbolic computations and developed a set of requirements for doing such computations. The repetition of "Mc Carthy" in the options is likely a typo or error, and does not affect the correctness of the answer.

Developed series of compiling systems that expanded a pseudocode into machine code.

Explanation
Grace Hopper, also known as "Hopper," developed a series of compiling systems. These systems were designed to take pseudocode, which is a simplified form of programming language, and convert it into machine code, which is the language understood by computers. This process of converting pseudocode into machine code is essential for computers to execute the instructions given by programmers. Grace Hopper's work in developing these compiling systems greatly contributed to the advancement of computer programming and made it easier for programmers to write and execute their code.

One the designers of ALGOL 60, said that “FORTRAN is the lingua franca of the computing world”.

Explanation
Allan Perlis, one of the designers of ALGOL 60, made the statement that "FORTRAN is the lingua franca of the computing world." This suggests that Perlis believed that FORTRAN, a programming language, was widely used and understood by computer scientists and programmers across different countries and cultures. This statement implies that FORTRAN had become a common language for communication and collaboration in the field of computing.

Built a series of complex & sophisticated computers from electrochemical relays.

Explanation
Konrad Zuse was a German engineer and inventor who is known for building a series of complex and sophisticated computers from electrochemical relays. His machines, known as the Z machines, were among the earliest examples of programmable computers. Zuse's work laid the foundation for modern computer architecture and his contributions to the field of computing are highly regarded. Therefore, the correct answer is Konrad Zuse or Zuse.
