18 Questions

Which category of variables are nameless (abstract) memory cells allocated and deallocated by explicit run time instructions written by the programmer?

Explicit heap-dynamic variables

What is the range of statements in which a variable is visible known as?

Scope

In which scoping method are names bound to nonlocal variables based on spatial relationships?

Static scoping

Which category of variables are bound to heap storage only when they are assigned values?

Implicit heap-dynamic variables

What is the process that involves storage allocation and binding indicated by a declaration statement?

Elaboration

Which type of variable remains bound to memory cells from program execution start to end?

Static variables

What is the range of statements in which a variable can be referenced in known as?

Scope

'Explicit heap-dynamic' and 'implicit heap-dynamic' variables differ in their:

Value assignment mechanism

Stack-dynamic variables have their storage bindings created after program execution begins.

False

Explicit heap-dynamic variables are bound to memory cells before program execution starts.

False

Implicit heap-dynamic variable attributes are bound every time they are assigned values.

True

Static scoping is the same as dynamic scoping.

False

The scope of a variable is the same as the range of statements in which the variable is visible.

True

Dynamic scoping is based on spatial relationships between subprograms.

False

Stack-dynamic variables are always statically bound.

False

Explicit heap-dynamic variables have names.

False

Implicit heap-dynamic variables get bound to heap storage regardless of value assignment.

False

Static scoping binds names to nonlocal variables based on calling sequence of subprograms.

False

Learn about the concept of binding in programming, including how it associates attributes and entities like variables and operations. Explore the different times at which binding can occur and the distinctions between static and dynamic binding.
