Question 4 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

In the object-oriented design of a card-playing program, suppose that “card deck” has been identified as one object and “user command” has been identified as another object. Focusing specifically on the card deck object, how does it relate to the user command object?

  3. An independent and equal relationship
  4. Both (1) and (2)
Question 5 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

Consider the following portion of a problem definition:
The program displays a menu to the user. If the user responds with ‘M’, the program displays emails of the user. If the user responds with ‘x’, the program exits. In an object-oriented design, which of the following probably would not be identified as an object?

  1. Menu
  2. User
  3. Time of day
  4. Date

  2. A good approach when a working core product is required quickly.
  3. The best approach to use for projects with large development teams.
  4. A revolutionary model that is not used for commercial products.
Question 11 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

The rapid application development model is

  1. another name for component-based development
