Software Development SDD N5 Revision 1

What is concatenation?

• Combining two Strings together

• When the compiler checks for all the syntax errors

• Rearranging files on the hard drive to consolidate free space

• Notes in each line of code explaining what they do

• Traversing a 1-D array

• Input Validation

• Running Total within a Loop

• Bubble Sort

At which stage of the process do you identify the inputs and outputs?

• Analysis

• Design

• Implementation

• Evaluation

At which stage of the process are logic errors discovered?

• Implementation
