The terms multi-paradigm and hybrid paradigm in programming are often used interchangeably, but they can have subtle differences depending on the context. Multi-Paradigm Programming * Definition: A multi-paradigm programming language supports multiple programming paradigms, allowing developers to use different styles of programming within the same language. This flexibility enables the use of the most suitable paradigm for a particular task. + Examples: Languages like Python, JavaScript, and C++ are considered multi-paradigm because they support procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming paradigms. + Usage: Developers can switch between paradigms as needed. For instance, they might use object-oriented programming for structuring their application and functional programming for handling data transformations. Hybrid Paradigm Programming * Definition: A hybrid paradigm refers to a programming approach that explicitly combines features from two or more paradigms to create a new, cohesive paradigm. This is often seen in languages designed to integrate specific features from different paradigms seamlessly. + Examples: Scala is a good example of a hybrid paradigm language, as it integrates both object- oriented and functional programming features in a unified way. + Usage: Hybrid paradigms are designed to leverage the strengths of multiple paradigms simultaneously, often providing a more integrated and cohesive development experience Key Differences + Flexibility vs. Integration: Multi-paradigm languages offer flexibility by supporting multiple paradigms, allowing developers to choose the best one for each task. Hybrid paradigms, on the other hand, aim to integrate features from different paradigms into a single, cohesive approach.

Readabili © Rule: Write code that is easy to read and understand © Example: Use meaningful variable names and add comments to explain complex logic. 3. Modularity: © Rule: Break down code into smaller, reusable modules or functions. © Example: Instead of writing a single large function, divide it into smaller functions that each handle a specific task. 4. DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself): © Rule: Avoid duplicating code by creating reusable functions or classes © Example: If you find yourself writing the same code in multiple places, refactor it into a function. 5. KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid): © Rule: Keep your code as simple as possible. © Example: Avoid unnecessary complexity and write straightforward solutions. 6. Error Handling: © Rule: Implement proper error handling to manage exceptions and errors gracefully. © Example: Use try-catch blocks in languages like Java and Python to handle potential errors. Relating These Rules to Naming and Binding Hitpsilapp.vaia.comistudysot21162799/summary/72025822Iedt ano‘7H4124, 3:87 PM Slide 2 review questions S°L Naming refers to the practice of assigning identifiers to variables, functions, classes, and other entities in a program. Binding is the association between these names and their corresponding values or references. Rules for Naming 1. Descriptive Names: © Rule: Use descriptive names that convey the purpose of the variable or function © Example: Instead of naming a variable x, name it latsmount. 2. Consistent Naming Conventions: © Rule: Follow consistent naming conventions throughout the codebase. © Example: Use snake_case for variables in Python and camelCase in JavaScript, 3. Avoid Reserved Keywords: © Rule: Do not use reserved keywords as names © Example: Avoid using class of incion as variable names in JavaScript. 4, Scope Awareness: © Rule: Be aware of the scope in which a name is used to avoid conflicts © Example: Use unique names for variables within different functions to prevent shadowing. Rules for Binding 1. Early Binding (Static Binding) © Rule: Bind names to values at compile time for better performance. © Example: In C++, method overloading is resolved at compile time. 2. Late Binding (Dynamic Binding): © Rule: Bind names to values at runtime for flexibility © Example: In Python, the type of a variable can change at runtime. 3. Scope Management: © Rule: Manage the scope of bindings to ensure variables are accessible where needed. © Example: Use local variables within functions to limit their scope and avoid global namespace pollution ime Management: © Rule: Control the lifetime of bindings to manage memory efficiently. © Example: In languages like C++, use destructors to release resources when an object goes out of scope. Example Scenario Consider a Python project where you need to process data from a file and generate a report. Applying the above rules: * Consistency: Use consistent naming conventions for variables and functions.
