The process of finding a value for a variable is referred to as instantiation .

In a problem statement, a(n) ____ is something that you accept as true in order to proceed with program planning.

The declarative paradigm emphasizes the evaluation of expressions, called "functions," rather than the execution of commands.

____ is a technique that can be used to identify potential vulnerabilities by listing the key assets of an application, categorizing the threats to each asset, ranking the threats, and developing threat mitigation strategies that can be implemented during coding.

A(n) ____ error is an error in the design of the program.

Remarks should be added to the sections of a program in which the purpose of the code is not immediately clear.

Within the context of programming, a(n) ____________________ is an action or occurrence to which a program might respond.

Case 1 You are studying paradigms this semester in your computer programming course. You have learned that some programming languages support a single paradigm, while others support more than one paradigm. You have also learned that classic paradigms are procedural, object-oriented, and declarative. In your class, you are required to give a presentation on different programming languages, and you are preparing your presentation. You are taking notes on a paradigm section that emphasizes linear, step-by-step algorithms that provide the computer with instructions on how to solve a problem or carry a task. What section are you taking notes on?
