B) A function that will produce well-defined results, even when subexpressions or parameters may be undefined, is said to be strict.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonstrict functions or languages allow for delayed execution, meaning that the evaluation of function arguments can be postponed until their values are needed. This can lead to well-defined results even if some subexpressions or parameters might be undefined in a strict evaluation context, as it avoids unnecessary computations that might lead to errors or undefined behavior.
