UNIT-3

1. What are subprograms, and what fundamental concepts are covered in their study according
to this syllabus?
2. What design issues are crucial to consider when designing subprograms, and how do they
impact program development?
3. Explain the concept of local referencing environments in the context of subprograms. How
do they influence program execution?
4. What are the various parameter passing methods discussed in this syllabus, and what are
their respective advantages and disadvantages?
5. How do subprograms as parameters enhance the flexibility and modularity of programming
languages?
6. Discuss the process of calling subprograms indirectly and its significance in software design.
7. What are overloaded subprograms, and how do they contribute to code clarity and reuse?
8. Explain the concept of generic subprograms and their role in facilitating code abstraction
and reusability.
9. What design considerations are pertinent when implementing functions within a
programming language?
10. How do closures and coroutines extend the capabilities of subprograms, and what practical
applications do they enable in software development?

These questions should help students engage deeply with the material and understand its
significance in programming language design and software development.

UNIT-4
1. What is concurrency, and why is it important in modern computing?
2. Explain the concept of subprogram level concurrency and its significance in multitasking
environments.
3. Describe the role of semaphores in managing access to shared resources in concurrent
programs.
4. How do monitors facilitate synchronized access to shared resources in concurrent
programming languages?
5. Discuss the concept of message passing and its application in concurrent systems.
6. What are Java threads, and how do they enable concurrent execution in Java programs?
7. Compare and contrast concurrency mechanisms in functional programming languages with
those in imperative languages.
8. Explain the concept of statement-level concurrency and its advantages in concurrent
programming.
9. Describe the fundamentals of exception handling and its implementation in Ada, C++, and
Java.
10. How does event handling differ from exception handling, and how is it implemented in Java
and C#?

programming languages.
6. What is logic programming, and how does it differ from other programming
paradigms?
7. Provide an overview of the basic elements of Prolog and how they contribute to the
logic programming paradigm.
8. What are some common applications of logic programming, and how does Prolog
facilitate their implementation?
9. Explain the concept of declarative programming and how it relates to logic
programming languages.
10. Discuss the advantages and limitations of using logic programming languages
compared to other programming paradigms.
