Exam 200-901 topic 1 question 19 discussion

Its C. From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_programming) "Modular programming is closely related to structured programming and object-oriented programming, all having the same goal of facilitating the construction of large software programs and systems by decomposition into smaller pieces." Regarding Option B: "Theoretically, a modularized software project will be more easily assembled by large teams, since no team members are creating the whole system, or even need to know about the system as a whole. They can focus just on the assigned smaller task (this, it is claimed, counters the key assumption of The Mythical Man Month, making it actually possible to add more developers to a late software project without making it later still)."

Regarding DEVASC Official Cert Guide: Chapter 4: Working with Python Modules Section: WORKING WITH PYTHON MODULES "Creating modular code provides the following benefits: -Easier readability/maintainability -Low coupling/high cohesion -Code reusability -Collaboration B is correct

Organizing code into modules helps to break down large, complex systems into smaller, manageable parts. Each module typically handles a specific functionality, making it easier to understand, test, and maintain the system. This modularity allows developers to focus on specific areas without being overwhelmed by the entire system's complexity. It also promotes reusability, as well-designed modules can be reused in different parts of the application or even in other projects. While improving collaboration (B) is a potential benefit of modular design, the main advantage is the ease of managing complex systems.

A benefit of organizing code into modules is: C. makes it easier to deal with large and complex systems Modularizing code helps manage complexity by breaking down large systems into smaller, more manageable pieces. This approach enhances maintainability, readability, and reusability, making it easier to understand, test, and debug individual components.

I choose B. Refer to https://www.tiny.cloud/blog/modular-programming-principle/ Advantages of modular programming 1. Code is easier to read 2. Code is easier to test 3. Easily find things later 4. Reusability without bloat 5. Single source for faster fixes 6. Easier, lower risk updates 7. Easier refactoring 8. Easier to collaborate Disadvantages of modular programming 1. Code size 2. Complexity 3. Security

collab

I would say A, B and C. Maybe the question was which is not true?

I would go for B, but other options also seem correct

A, B, and C seem correct. Modules are a way to build independent and self-contained chunks of code that can be reused. Developers typically use modules to divide a large project into smaller parts. This way the code is easier to read and understand and each module can be developed in parallel without conflicts. A Module is packaged as a single file and in addition to being available for integration with other modules, it should work independently. A module consists of a set of functions and typically contains an interface for other modules to integrate with. It is essentially a library and cannot be instantiated. Note: A module is just a set of functions in a file.

In my opinion is C, because the main idea of break the code into functions is divide and conquer, which is pretty much make it easier to deal with large and more complex systems, avoiding code repetition, this is how you reuse the code and keep your coding environment clean.

Evil question that does not have decisive answer.

Pretty nasty question! A, B & C seem correct. From the DEVASC course: "The major advantage of using modules in software development is that it allows one module to be developed with little knowledge of the implementation in another module". B seems the closed match to the above statement.

I would go with A or C. I don't see how using modules would improve collaboration within the development team...

I believe A is also a correct answer, as a code that is written in a modular fashion is inherently easier to read and follow. But answer B is more convincing. I'll go with B.
