2
Why is the order of steps important in an algorithm?
It doesn't matter, any order will work.
The order dictates the brand of computer used.
The order determines the color scheme.
The order ensures the solution is reached efficiently.
3
What is a potential runtime cost associated with OOP?
Reusing code makes programs run inefficiently.

OOP makes programs run much faster overall.
Dynamic dispatching (selecting the correct method version) can add overhead
4
How does code reusability benefit development with OOP?
It allows existing classes and methods to be used in new applications
It eliminates the need for planning before coding.

6
How does OOP improve software quality through testing?
Testing every object individually is time-consuming.
There's no benefit to testing in OOP compared to other approaches

An executable file containing machine code instructions
An assembly language program.
Bytecode, which is interpreted by a virtual machine.
An executable file containing machine code instructions.
9
What term refers to the rules governing how statements are structured in a programming language?
Logic
Syntax
Function
Code
10
What is the benefit of inheritance in OOP?
sharing properties, methods between classes, reducing code duplication. ✔
It replaces the need for methods within a class.
It creates a more complex way to define objects.
It restricts access to object properties.

What are the actions that an object can perform in OOP called?
Variables
Keywords
Statements
Methods
12
What is the main purpose of syntax rules in a programming language?
To limit the creativity of programmers

To translate the code directly into machine code.
To make the code look pretty.
13
What information about a real-world object is captured by an object in OOP (often called a property)?
Specific details like color or size.
The overall purpose of the program
Only the actions it can perform.
Only its visual appearance.
14
What is the role of syntax analysis during compilation?
