Exam 6: Working With Xslt Functional Programming

Many editors, including the Firefox browser, do not support the _____ attribute and will instead display the text of the file, including the HTML markup tags.

XSLT is considered a functional programming language. Define functional programming, and describe at least three of the key design principles of functional programming languages.

The number format symbol _____ separates groups of digits in the number.

 Helena is studying functional programming, using the drawImages template shown in the accompanying figure as an example. She comes to you for help in learning the key features of functional programming. -Helena would like to insert a blank space in the result document after the drawImages template runs. You tell her she can do this using the code _____.

Which of the following shows the correct syntax of the function supported by XSLT 2.0 to retrieve non-XML data?

If XPath is unable to calculate a value because of an error in the style sheet, it will return the text string "NaN" (Not a Number) .

  George is developing an XSLT style sheet to display data from research surveys. The structure of the surveys.xml file is shown in the accompanying figure. He comes to you for assistance in preparing the final file. -The source document contains data for thousands of surveys. George would like to display information for only the first six surveys. Which of the following shows the correct syntax for the predicate George should use to insure only the first six surveys are displayed?

The number format symbol _____ is a placeholder that displays required digits in the formatted number.

The identity template matches any kind of node in the source document and copies them to the result document.

  George is developing an XSLT style sheet to display data from research surveys. The structure of the surveys.xml file is shown in the accompanying figure. He comes to you for assistance in preparing the final file. -George knows that the position() function returns the position of the node as it is displayed within the result document, not necessarily the position of the node in the source document. Which element do you suggest George use to retrieve the position values of the nodes as they appeared in the source document?

One way to create a lookup table is to use the _____ function, which returns the active node being processed in the style sheet.

Some XSLT processors strip _____ nodes, which are nodes that contain only white space characters such as blanks, line returns, or tabs.

Variables that contain text strings should enclose those text strings within a separate set of _____.

A(n) _____ is a user-defined name that stores a value or an object.

 Helena is studying functional programming, using the drawImages template shown in the accompanying figure as an example. She comes to you for help in learning the key features of functional programming. -Helena has heard that every recursive function contains a base case that represents a stopping condition. In the drawImages template, you explain to her that the function would reach the base case when _____.

The only element that the call-template element can contain is the with-param element.

A(n) _____ template is a template that is not matched to a node set but instead acts like a function to display a calculated value or perform an operation.

The _____ attribute of the decimal-format element represents text used to represent entries that are not numbers.

The _____ function calculates the sum of the numeric values in a node set.
