Statement Appropriate
Language

The programming language was designed primarily for hardware description.

The programming language known for its powerful operators for string pattern
matching but suffered from poor readability and maintainability.

The first programming language introduced the concept of a class, which served as
the basis for data abstraction.

The programming language was primarily designed for teaching structured


programming and gained popularity for its simplicity and size.

The programming language designed for systems programming at Bell Labs, which
evolved from B and was influenced by ALGOL 68.

Question No. 3: Marks: 5

Suppose you as a programming student going to learn how to use the “if statement” in 2 different
