ASSIGNMENT

1) Differentiate between strongly typed and weakly typed languages.

(2) Write extensively on object-oriented programming.

(3) Clearly differentiate between c and python programming languages.

(1) Strongly Typed and Weakly Typed Languages

Programming languages can be categorized as strongly typed or weakly typed based on their type
checking mechanisms.

Strongly Typed Languages:

- Check variable types at compile-time.

- Ensure type safety and prevent type errors.

- Require explicit type definitions.

- Examples: Java, C++, C#, Go.

Weakly Typed Languages:

- Check variable types at runtime.

- Allow implicit type conversions.

- Do not require explicit type definitions.

- Examples: JavaScript, Python, Ruby, PHP.

(2) Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

OOP is a programming paradigm that organizes software design around objects and their interactions.

Key Principles:

1. Encapsulation: Hide internal implementation details.

2. Abstraction: Expose only necessary information.

3. Inheritance: Create new classes based on existing ones.

4. Polymorphism: Objects can take multiple forms.

5. Composition: Objects contain other objects.

OOP Concepts:

1. Classes and Objects

2. Methods and Properties

3. Constructors and Destructors


4. Inheritance and Polymorphism

5. Interfaces and Abstract Classes

Benefits:

1. Modularity

2. Reusability

3. Easier Maintenance

4. Improved Readability

(3) C and Python Programming Languages

C:

1. Low-level, compiled language.

2. General-purpose programming.

3. Efficient performance.

4. Manual memory management.

5. Verbose syntax.

Python:

1. High-level, interpreted language.

2. Scripting and rapid development.

3. Easy-to-learn syntax.

4. Automatic memory management.

5. Extensive libraries.

KEY DIFFERENCES:

1. Compilation: C is compiled, while Python is interpreted.

2. Memory Management: C requires manual memory management, whereas Python uses automatic
memory management.

3. Syntax: C has a more verbose syntax compared to Python's concise syntax.

4. Use Cases: C is suitable for systems programming, embedded systems, and performance-critical
applications. Python excels in web development, data analysis, machine learning, and scripting.
