Magik Language Interview Questions

0) Introduction
Magik supports both procedural language and object oriented language.

Procedural Language:
In procedural language all code is in modular fashion. Each module is a collecti
on of statements. Module takes input and executes all statements step by step an
d gives output.
EX:
area << _proc @area(radius)
#code to calculate area
>> pi*radius * radius
_endproc
In the above example ,procedure is taking radius as input and returning the circ
le area as output value.
If we want to calculate area of square again we have to write on
e more procedure with different procedure name, though the purpose of the proced
ure is to calculate area.
In procedural language, maintenance is headache. We can overcome
this in oop language.
Object Oriented Programming Language:
In oop, both data and functionality is combined in a class. We c
an write methods with same name in different classes.
For example ,we can write method area() in different classes. Me
thods are accessed via their class name.
Ex:
Circle Class:
def_slotted_exemplar(:circle,
{})
$
_method circle.new()
>> _clone.init()
_endmethod
$
_method circle.init()
_return _self
_endmethod
$
_method circle.area(r)
area << 22/7*r*r
_return area.as_float
_endmethod
Sqaure class:
def_slotted_exemplar(:square,
{})
$
_method square.new()
>> _clone.init()
_endmethod
$
_method square.init()
_return _self
_endmethod
$
_method square.area(r)
area << r*r
_return area
_endmethod
To access area method in circle class,type circle.area(2) at mag
iksf prompt as shown below
MagikSF> circle.area(2)

How to add enumerators values without using the case tool?
Using extensible enumerator.
How can we add indices to collection using magik code?
Add_index() and drop_index() methods are used to add and remove indices from col
lection.
What is the difference between the detached record and template record?
Both detached record and template record returns an object which has same fields
and behavior of collection record but it is not an element of collection.
In detached record ,fields are not initialized with default value whereas in tem
plate record fields are initialized with default values.
Creating detached record is faster than the template record.
Elements() vs fast_elements()
Elements() returns only valid records.
If we are using fast_elements() on the collection in which the records are inser
ting and deleting, then fast_elements() returns the deleted records also.
When do we get stale record handle?
If user tries to refer the deleted object, then stale record handle error will ra
ises.
smallworld database is which type of database?
Smallworld database is relational databse.

What are the different kinds of objects available in magik?
In Magik there are distinct formats for different kinds of object:
enumerated: objects that have no data, such as integers and Booleans
indexed: objects that have numbered elements
slotted: objects with named fields called slots

How to generate magik compile file?
Magik compile file is generated using following command
magik_rep.compile_file(file_path )
<file_path>: give file full path
EX:
magik_rep.compile_file( D:\test.magik )
After executing the above statement test.magikc file is generated in the D:\

Method Definitions
Functionality of the objects are defined in the methods. Methods are invoked by
sending message to the objects.
Methods can be defined in the following forms:
Standard method definition:

[_private]
_method <receiver> . <message> [ (<arguments>) ]
<block body>
_endmethod
<receiver> is the name of the class. <message> is the name of the method. <argum
ents> is the list of arguments.
If the keyword _private is present, that method can be accessed within the same
class and subclasses.
EX:
_method integer.odd_even()
_if _self.odd?
_then write("This is an odd number")
_else write("This is an even number")
_endif
_endmethod
Method with brackets is different from the same method name without brackets.
Odd_even() is different from odd_even.
Field Access method definition:
[_private]
_method <receiver> . <message>
<block body>
_endmethod
<receiver> is the name of the class. <message> is the name of the method.
EX:
_method association.key
>> .key
_endmethod
Usually,field access methods are used to return slot value.
Indexing method definitions:
[_private] _method <receiver>'[' <argument list> ']'
<block body>
_endmethod
<receiver> is the name of the class.
EX:
_method array_2[n]
...
_endmethod
Abstract Method:
_abstract _method <receiver> . <message> [ (<arguments>) ]
_endmethod
EX:
_abstract _method hash_helper.match?(thing1, thing2)
## Returns a boolean which is true if thing1 and thing2 should
## be regarded as the same
## Subclasses must provide an implementation of this method
_endmethod
Subclasses must implement abstract method otherwise error will raise.

Procedure Definitions
Procedure is a collection of statements. Procedure invocation is simply calling
the procedure with its arguments. Procedure can also be invoked by sending invok
e() message on the procedure object.
EX: quit() or quit.invoke()
Procedure Syntax:
_proc [@ <identifier>] ( [<arguments>] )
<block body>
_endproc
@identifier and arguments are optional.
@identifier is useful to identify the procedure.
Note that the brackets ( ) are required, even if a procedure has no argu
ments.
Defining Procedure with identifier:
hello << _proc @greet()
write("Hello World")
_endproc
Procedure with name greet is created and is assigned to the
variable hello.
Procedure is invoked by hello() or hello.invoke().
Defining procedure and assigning to _global _constant variable:
_global _constant Hi << _proc()
write("I have name")
_endproc
Procedure is defined and assigned to the global constant var
iable hi. In this case procedure is named with constant name.
Defining procedure without identifier:

Hi << _proc()
write("I have no name")
_endproc
Unnamed procedure is created and is assigned to the variable hi.

@identifier is useful to identify the procedure.
Note that the brackets ( ) are required, even if a procedure has no argu
ments.
Defining Procedure with identifier:
hello << _proc @greet()
write("Hello World")
_endproc
Procedure with name greet is created and is assigned to the

variable hello.
Procedure is invoked by hello() or hello.invoke().
Defining procedure and assigning to _global _constant variable:
_global _constant Hi << _proc()
write("I have name")
_endproc
Procedure is defined and assigned to the global constant var
iable hi. In this case procedure is named with constant name.
Defining procedure without identifier:
Hi << _proc()
write("I have no name")
_endproc
Unnamed procedure is created and is assigned to the variable hi.
