Question 1

How does C manage memory

Answer 1

C: Uses manual memory management. You must allocate memory using malloc or calloc and release it using free

Question 2

How does LISP manage memory

Answer 2

Uses automatic garbage collection. The runtime manages allocation and deallocation

Question 3

How is C typed

Answer 3

Is statically typed; types are fixed and checked at compile time (e.g., int, char*)

Question 4

How is Lisp typed

Answer 4

dynamically typed; variables do not have fixed types and type checking occurs at runtime

Question 5

Lisp Code-Data Relationship

Answer 5

Is homoiconic, meaning code and data share the same representation (S-expressions/lists). This allows programs to manipulate their own source code (metaprogramming)

Question 6

C Code-Data Relationship

Answer 6

Is not homoiconic; code is distinct from data, and the programmer cannot easily modify language structure at runtime.

Question 7

C Syntax

Answer 7

Uses a statement-based syntax with keywords, semicolons, and curly braces

Question 8

Lisp Syntax

Answer 8

Uses a minimalist, uniform syntax based on parentheses and prefix notation
