Structured Programming

What is the primary goal of structured programming?

• To make programs run faster

• To simplify the debugging process

• To reduce the amount of code written

• To organize code into logical, manageable sections

Why is breaking down a problem important in structured programming?

• To increase the program's execution time

• To make it easier to copy code from other sources

• To make the program more difficult to understand

• To facilitate teamwork and parallel development

What does a well-documented interface include?

• The programming language the code is written in

• A list of all variables used in the program

• Parameters, their data types, order, and return values' data types

• The program's name and version only

What is the purpose of the 'calculate gross pay' function?

• To print the wage slip

• To compute the sum of normal wages and overtime pay

• To calculate the total deductions from the salary

• To determine the number of hours worked

What is a procedural function in the context of structured programming?

• A function that performs a task without returning a value

• A function that can only be used once

• A function that requires no parameters

• A function that returns a value

What role does 'calculate deductions' play in the wages program?

• It calculates the net pay

• It computes the total amount of deductions

• It determines the hourly rate

• It generates the wage slip

What is the significance of the 'calculate net pay' function?

• It calculates the amount of tax to be paid

• It calculates the amount of overtime worked

• It determines the gross wage before deductions

• It computes the final pay after all deductions

How does the 'output wage slip' procedure differ from the functions discussed?

• It requires parameters but does not return a value

• It returns a value but does not require parameters

• It neither requires parameters nor returns a value

• It is the only part of the program written in a different programming language

How does structured programming aid in program maintenance?

• By requiring more time for testing

• By making it easier to adapt and change the program

• By increasing the complexity of the code

• By limiting the number of programmers working on a project

Why is it beneficial for more than one programmer to work on a large program?

• To increase the overall cost of the project

• To facilitate parallel development and reduce development time

• To ensure the program uses the latest technology

• To make the program run on multiple platforms
