Understanding Decomposition and Iterative Development

What is decomposition in programming?

• Writing all the code at once

• Breaking down a large problem into smaller, manageable tasks

• Using complex algorithms to solve a problem

• Testing code in one step

Why is decomposition important in coding?

• It helps you finish the program faster

• It makes complex problems easier to solve

• It avoids using loops in code

• It improves the visual design of a program

Which of the following is an example of decomposing a problem in programming?

• Writing one long block of code without stopping

• Breaking a game into parts like 'design', 'movement', 'score', and 'game-over'

• Coding without any plan or design

• Adding random features without testing

What is the main benefit of decomposition in coding?

• It makes the program more colorful

• It reduces the amount of code needed

• It simplifies the problem and makes it easier to code

• It avoids using any loops in code

Which of the following is NOT a step in the iterative development process?

• Plan

• Design

• Refactor (not listed in process)

• Test

What is the purpose of the planning step in iterative development?

• To test the code

• To review the code

• To decide on the features and structure of the project

• To fix bugs in the code

During which phase of the iterative development process do you write the actual code?

• Plan

• Design

• Develop

• Evaluate

What is the goal of the testing phase in iterative development?

• To add more features to the program

• To make sure the program works as expected and find errors

• To design new parts of the project

• To review how good the plan was

Which phase of iterative development involves checking the overall quality of the work done?

• Plan

• Test

• Review

• Design

Why is evaluation important in iterative development?

• It helps you create new designs

• It helps you fix bugs in the program

• It allows you to reflect on what worked well and what can be improved

• It is done after the final release to check for more bugs
