Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 1, Problem 19RQ
Explanation of Solution
Von Neumann Architecture uses a single memory to store data as well as programs and a processor to perform computations. Data and instructions flow from the memory to processor for computation and later the result is transferred back to the memory. The languages are designed so as to take advantage of the working of the von-Neumann computers...

- What primitive data types can normally be represented and processed by a CPU?arrow_forwardDescribe the programming language hierarchy. Why is a triangle a suitable symbol for representing this hierarchy?arrow_forwardIt's true that ALGOL was one of the earliest machine-independent languages, but it was still constrained by the von Neumann paradigm of computing. The mechanism by which this occurs must be explained.arrow_forward
- What are OCaml variants? What features do they subsume from imperative languages such as C and Pascal?arrow_forwardIn terms of machine independence, ALGOL was one of the first programming languages to achieve it, but it did not achieve independence from the von Neumann model of computation. Please explain how this is possible.arrow_forwardWhat is the relationship of c language to other programming languages?arrow_forward
- How do low-level programming languages work? What are they? What distinguishes them from one another?arrow_forwardSome language definitions specify a particular representation for data types in memory, while others specify only the semantic behavior of those types. For languages in the latter class, some implementations guarantee a particular representation, while others reserve the right to choose different representations in different circumstances. Which approach do you prefer? Why?arrow_forwardWhat exactly is memoization?arrow_forward
