Chapter 10: Control II - Procedures and Environments
TRUE/FALSE
1. Procedures were first introduced when memory was scarce, as a way of splitting a program into
small, separately compiled pieces.
ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 444
2. An activation record is a stored log recording each time a procedure or function is activated.
ANS: F PTS: 1 REF: 445
3. A procedure specification includes its name, the names and types of its formal parameters and its
return type, if any.
4. You call a procedure by stating its name, together with arguments to the call.
5. A procedure is a mechanism for abstracting a group of actions or computations.
6. A call to a procedure transfers control to the beginning of the body of the called procedure.
7. A procedure declaration creates a constant procedure value and associates a symbolic name with
that value.
8. An activation of a block cannot communicate with the rest of the program.
9. Another name for activation record is stack record.
10. When you define a procedure, the parameters you list in the interface are the formal parameters.
11. When parameters are passed by value, the arguments are expressions that are evaluated at the time
of the call, with the arguments’ values becoming the values of the parameters during the execution
of the procedure.

12. In C and Java, parameters passed by value behave as local variables of the procedure.
13. Pass by value implies that changes cannot occur outside the procedure through the use of
parameters.
14. Pass by value is the default mechanism in C++ and Pascal.
15. If a pointer is passed by value, the procedure cannot modify the contents of the pointer.
16. Pass by reference is also known as copy-restore.
17. Pass by value-result is also known as copy-in, copy-out.
18. Pass by name can be described as an advanced inlining process for procedures.
19. Pass by name is included in all Algol60 descendants.
20. In pass by name parameter passing, arguments are not evaluated until their actual use as
parameters in the procedure.
21. In Ada, parameters can be declared as in or out, but not both.
22. In strongly typed languages, procedure calls must be checked so that the arguments agree in type
and number with the parameters of the procedure.
23. Recursion is allowed in Fortran77.
24. Reference counting is a lazy method of storage reclamation.

25. Mark and sweep is a lazy method of storage reclamation.
