A Java development team needs to use a third-party JSON parsing library in their application. They download the library as a JAR file and add it to their project's classpath. What is this JAR file in relation to their application?

A source file — a text file containing the library's original code

An interpreter — a runtime that executes the application's bytecode

A library — a reusable collection of pre-written code that the application imports and calls

A compiler — a tool that translates the application's source code into bytecode

What do C# and Java have in common?

They are object-oriented languages that run on managed runtimes

They are interpreted languages used primarily for scripting

They are functional programming languages

They are low-level languages used for system programming

A team is designing a banking application in Java. They create a `BankAccount` class with private fields for balance and public methods `deposit()` and `withdraw()`. Each account instance maintains its own balance. Which programming paradigm does this design exemplify?

Declarative programming — specifying what the system should do without implementation details

Procedural programming — using global functions that operate on shared data

Functional programming — using pure functions with no side effects

Object-oriented programming — bundling data (balance) with methods (deposit/withdraw) into objects

What is the primary role of a compiler?

To convert machine code back into source code for debugging

To execute source code line by line at runtime

To translate the entire source code into executable machine code before the program runs

To manage memory allocation during program execution
