A small in-class quiz following our lecture.

You can use 'tab' and 'shift-tab' to navigate and space to select.
Text-based input does not currently take non-ASCII characters (i.e. use 'e' instead of 'è' -- sorry, no emojis in input!).
If you receive an error after submitting, simply try to resubmit later. You will receive a message "Your submission has been recorded" when your response has been properly recorded.

Note: For this activity and all other activities, you should only make 1 submission (your first submission is always the one graded)

1.) Is D a compiled language?

Select the best correct response No, D is very similar to JavaScript and Php and interpreted
Yes, compiled (even though tools like rdmd make it feel like an interpreted language)

2.) Is D a systems programming language with pointers?

Select the best correct response Yes, you have pointers and low level access.
No

3.) D is garbage collected by default. Are we allowed to manually allocate and track memory using malloc?

Select the best correct response Yes of course! you can 'import core.stdc' and use most every standard C function available, including 'malloc' to perform memory allocation. There are other things like 'scoped' pointers (i.e. reference counted pointers) for other memory allocation schemes.
No -- there is only 1 way to do things in D

4.) What does it mean to 'compute' at compile-time?

Select the best correct response It means we are able to compute anything that is 'known' at compile-time while we compile our program, thus saving us time at run-time.
It means that we are ALWAYS able to run any arbitrary code (including user input) at compile-time and save time.
