Multiple Choice

What is meant by the term "robustness" in software development?

• A program’s ability to handle errors and unexpected inputs without crashing

• The speed at which a program runs

• The simplicity of a program’s code

• A value well outside the valid range, like -50 when the range is 1-100

• A value just inside the valid range, like 1 when the range is 1-100

Multiple Choice

What is the purpose of an input validation algorithm?

• To sort a list of numbers

• To check if user input is acceptable before using it

• To count how many times a value appears in a list
