Chapter 13 - Data Structures

What does the term "deterministic" refer to in programming?

• A program that behaves randomly each time it runs

• A program that does the same thing each time it runs, given the same inputs

• A program that changes its behavior based on user input

• A program that generates random numbers

What is "pseudorandom" in the context of programming?

• A truly random sequence of numbers

• A sequence of numbers that appears random but is generated by a deterministic program

• A sequence of numbers that repeats every time

• A sequence of numbers that is manually entered by the user

What is the purpose of a "default value" in programming?

• To replace a default value with an argument

• To provide a value to an optional parameter if no argument is provided

• To generate random numbers

• To create a new data structure

What does "override" mean in the context of programming?

• To create a new data structure

• To replace a default value with an argument

• To generate random numbers

• To provide a default value

What is "benchmarking" in the context of data structures?

• The process of creating new data structures

• The process of choosing between data structures by implementing alternatives and testing them on a sample of the possible inputs

• The process of generating random numbers

• The process of debugging code

What is "rubber duck debugging"?

• Debugging by using a computer program

• Debugging by explaining your problem to an inanimate object such as a rubber duck

• Debugging by writing code on paper

• Debugging by asking a friend for help
