Correct Answer

Explanation

Examples of bindings between attributes and entities

  • the asterisk symbol (*) is usually bound to the multiplication operation at (1) transparent .
  • A data type, such as int in C, is bound to a range of possible values at (2) transparent .
  • A variable in a Java program is bound to a particular data type at (3) transparent .
  • A variable may be bound to a storage cell when the program is loaded into memory at (4) transparent . That same binding does not happen until (5) transparent in some cases, as with variables declared in Java methods.
  • A call to a library subprogram is bound to the subprogram code at (6) transparent .

Explanation

Analyze the binding times of the following Java assignment statement

count = count + 5;

  • The type of count is bound at (1) transparent .
  • The set of possible values of count is bound at compiler (2) transparent .
  • The meaning of the operator symbol + is bound at (3) transparent , when the types of its operands have been determined.
  • The internal representation of the literal 5 is bound at compiler (4) transparent .
  • The value of count is bound at (5) transparent with this statement
