Structured Programming Concepts and Functions

The video explores structured programming, emphasizing the importance of breaking down large programs into smaller, manageable tasks. It discusses creating well-documented interfaces, defining parameters, and return values for functions. Using a wages program as an example, it explains procedures and functions for calculating wages, tax, and deductions, and generating a wage slip. The video concludes with the advantages of structured programming, such as easier testing, reduced errors, and improved adaptability.

What is the primary reason for using a structured approach in programming?

• To reduce the number of lines of code

• To break down large problems into manageable tasks

• To use more complex algorithms

• To make programs run faster

What is a key feature of a well-documented interface?

• The speed of execution

• The order of parameters

• The number of lines of code

• The programming language used

In the 'wages' program, what is the purpose of the 'calculate normal wages' function?

• To print the wage slip

• To determine the tax amount

• To calculate the total deductions

• To compute the normal wages based on hours worked and hourly rate

Which of the following is NOT an advantage of structured programming?

• Simplifies maintenance

• Facilitates collaboration

• More prone to errors

• Easier to test

How does structured programming help when program requirements change?

• It increases the complexity of the code

• It requires rewriting the entire program

• It allows for easier adaptation and changes

• It makes the program run faster
