What is the main advantage of using systematic analysis methods in software development?

• Speeds up the coding process

• Reduces the need for testing

• Eliminates the need for documentation

Which programming paradigm emphasizes changes in state and the order of operations?

• Object-oriented programming

• Functional programming

• Procedural programming

• Logic programming

What is the purpose of an algorithm?

• To define the programming language to be used

• To outline a step-by-step process to solve a specific problem

• To document the user requirements

• To design the user interface of the application

Which of the following is true about assembly language?

• It is easier to read and write than machine code

• It is the same across all types of processors

• It does not require a compiler or assembler

• It is used for developing high-level applications

In the context of programming paradigms, what does "imperative programming" focus on?

• Describing the logic of the computation without describing its control flow

• Using functions to transform data

• Describing the control flow of the program

• The concept of objects and their interactions

What is a key feature of object-oriented programming?

• Immutable data

• Recursion

• Encapsulation
