Chapter 1.4, Problem 26STE
Program Plan Intro
- A fault in a program denotes a bug and process of elimination of bugs is termed as debugging.
- A bug denotes an error, failure or fault in a program that may generate improper result.
- The process of fixing bugs is termed as debugging.
- Some of computer systems are able to deter, detect or auto correct different computer bugs during operations.
- The bugs arise from errors made in source code of program.
- The bugs can cause program to freeze computer in terms of processing.
Types of program errors:
- The three main types of program error includes:
- Syntax errors:
- The compiler catches certain mistakes and denotes an error message.
- It denotes violation of syntax of programming language.
- The compiler issues an error message if syntax is been violated.
- The compiler sometimes raises a warning message while any unusual programming practices.
- Run-time errors:
- It denotes type of error that system detects when a program is run.
- The system may detect certain run-time errors and displays appropriate error message.
- It may be an issue with numeric calculations.
- Logic error:
- It denotes a mistake in underlying
algorithm . - It may be an issue while translation of algorithm to program code.
- It denotes that there is no error in syntax while the result obtained is not as expected by user.
- These types of errors could be corrected by careful examination of algorithm and translation.
- It denotes a mistake in underlying
- Syntax errors:

You are designing the syntax for a new language. The following example presents a loop statement in the language. In this example the tokens “aNumber” and “aResult” are the variable names. A variable name that can be created by the programmer can consist of any combination of alphanumeric characters and underscores. A variable name can be of any length. The tokens “from”, “get”, and “do” are keywords in the language. The list “1,34,21,678” is an example list of numbers from which the “aNumber” variable gets its values one by one. The list length can be of any size. The members of the list are numbers of any length and they are separated by commas. The operators “=” and “*” are keywords in the language. The language provides the operators “+”, “-”, and “/” too. Write BNF rules to specify the loop statement in this language. Call the start symbol “loop”. Please note in the context-free grammars we do not need to check what value is stored in a non-terminal. Therefore, a variable name…
Write a program, using the syntax of whatever language you like, that produces different behavior depending on whether pass-by-reference or pass-by-value-result is used in its parameter passing.

- Why do modern programming languages need to support both value and reference passing? When deciding between these two alternatives, why is it so difficult to choose only one? Your solution should address both the positives of having both and the drawbacks of having either alone.arrow_forwardWrite a test program in your favorite language that determines and outputs the precedence and associativity of its arithmetic and Boolean operators.arrow_forwardalthough java has the rule that the left operand of every binary operator is evaluated before the right operand, most languages give the compiler the freedom to choose which operand is evaluated first. when expressions have side effects, the value of the expression can be different depending upon which order is used. give an example in c++ of an expression whose value depends upon the evaluation order. show the orders that produce different values and the values they produce. explain what side effect is the expression contains.(dont copy and coursehero ans please) need elaborative ansarrow_forward

- 1. What is the significance of using control structures? 2. For you, which is is preferably the most convenient control structure to be used in comparisons, IF-ELSE or SWITCH? 3. Do SWITCH and IF-ELSE have differences?arrow_forwardWe have covered conditional statements in python. Research what the keyword assert does and how you could using it within a loop or function. In addition to this, Switch statements are typically found in languages such as C++ and Java. They are used in place of using large if /elif /else structures. Research how an equivalent switch statement can be implemented in Python and give an example.arrow_forwardFinish the 2 "TODO" in the ASM Language! A palindrome is a word that is spelled the same way forwards and backwards. For example, "radar", "racecar", "civic", "kayak", and "madam" are all palindromes. The definition can be extended to phrases and sentences when ignore case and punctuation, but for this exercise we will stick to a single word. The starter code provided uses the C library functions printf and scanf to prompt for an input a word. The word that is entered from the keyboard is a null-terminated string placed in the byte array at address buf. There are also two output strings provided at addresses str_is_palindrome and str_is_not_palindrome. The starter code provided simply outputs the string at str_is_not_palindrome. The code contains two TODO comments... At the first TODO comment, the byte array at buf is filled with input from the keyboard. This input is a null-terminated character string (i.e. the array contains the characters entered on the keyboard, followed by ASCII…arrow_forward

Your solution should be in pseudocode with appropriate comments. Warning: you are not expected to write in any programming-specific languages, but only in the generic structured form as stipulated in class for solutions design. A coffee shop pays its employees biweekly. The owner requires a program that allows a user to enter an employee's name, pay rate and then prompts the user to enter the number of hours worked each week. The program validates the pay rate and hours worked. If valid, it computes and prints the employee's biweekly wage. According to the HR policy, an employee can work up to 55 hours a week, the minimum pay rate is $17.00 per hour and the maximum pay rate is $34.00 per hour. If the hours work or the pay rate is invalid, the program should print an error message, and provide the user another chance to re-enter the value. It will continue doing so until both values are valid; then it will proceed with the…arrow_forward
