What is the difference between input sanitisation and validation as described in the text?

Input sanitisation removes unnecessary data, while validation ensures the input matches a specific format

Input sanitisation checks for correct data, while validation removes unnecessary characters

Input sanitisation converts input to a specific case, while validation removes white spaces

Input sanitisation and validation are the same processes with different names

Having a backup plan to prevent the program from crashing during unexpected events

Planning the program's features and user interface

Ensuring the program is completed on time

Creating a marketing strategy for the program

What is an example of a contingency plan in printers?

Printers store the job where it left off if the ink runs out

Printers can print documents in different colors

Printers require manual restart every time they encounter an error

Why is it important for programmers to anticipate misuse of their programs?

To prevent exploitation of weak points in the program by malicious users

To ensure the program runs faster

To make the program more user-friendly

To comply with software licensing agreements

Why are comments critical when creating computer programs?

They help users understand what is happening in different sections of the code

They change how the code is executed

They are used to indicate errors in the code

They are necessary for the code to run

What is the role of indentation in programming languages like Python?

It is forced upon the programmer and errors will occur without correct indentation

It is optional and used for aesthetic purposes only

It is used to indicate the end of the program

What is the benefit of using comments in a program according to the text?

They allow programmers to quickly identify what they are looking for and make maintenance more efficient

They make the program run faster

They increase the size of the program

They are required for compiling the code

Why is indentation considered good practice in programming languages, even if not necessary?

It helps in creating a layered approach to code and shows how different parts link together

It is required by all programming languages

It makes the code more colorful

It reduces the amount of memory used by the program

What is the purpose of using sub-programs in programming?

To organize code into neat sections, making it easier to read and understand

To increase the size of the program

To eliminate the need for naming conventions

According to the text, what should you do when creating functions in terms of naming conventions?

Use lowercase letters and separate with an underscore

Use uppercase letters and no separators

Use lowercase letters and separate with a dash

Start each word with a capital letter

Which of the following is a recommended naming convention for constants in programming?

Write constants that will remain constant throughout the program in capital letters

Write constants in lowercase letters

Write constants with spaces between words

Write constants using a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters randomly

Why is testing a solution considered important in the creation of the solution?

Because it ensures the solution works correctly and as expected.

Because it allows programmers to add more features to the solution.

Because it helps in marketing the solution to clients.

Because it reduces the cost of the solution.

What is NOT a reason for conducting testing according to the text?

To increase the overall development time of the project.

To make sure the solution does not crash when run.

To ensure that there are no minor bugs and glitches.

To avoid being overloaded with potential errors.

What is iterative testing?

Testing each small section of code as it is developed.

It can take up valuable time in the development of a solution.

It can lead to more bugs and glitches.

It only allows for testing large sections of code at once.

It prevents the solution from working accurately.

What does terminal (or final) testing involve?

Testing the whole solution once the development is complete

Testing each section of the program individually as they are developed

Running multiple tests after every few lines of code are written

Using an IDE to locate errors before the program is completed

What is a disadvantage of terminal testing?

It makes it difficult to spot errors

It saves too much time during the development phase

It requires an IDE that doesn’t show where the errors are

It tests the solution too frequently

According to the text, what is considered good practice in testing your program?

To test your program as you go and reduce the number of errors faced in one go

To test the program only at the end

To avoid iterative testing to save time

To rely solely on terminal testing for the best results

What is a syntax error in programming?

An error within the code that causes the program to fail or crash due to incorrect syntax.

An error that occurs due to incorrect logic in the code.

An error that occurs when the program runs out of memory.

An error that is only found after the program has been executed successfully.

What happens when a syntax error is present in a Python program?

The program cannot be executed.

The program executes with unexpected results.

The program runs successfully but with warnings.

The program is executed with a delay.

How does Python alert you to a syntax error?

It displays an error message in the shell when the program is run.

It sends an email to the programmer.

It corrects the error automatically.

It ignores the error and continues execution.
