Question

Read the following scenarios about how three different programmers approach programming a computer game. Identify which type of programming design approach each represents

a) Yolanda first breaks down the whole game she needs to program into modules. She then breaks these modules into smaller modules until the individual parts are manageable for programming. She writes the smallest modules, and then recombines them into larger parts.
b) Isabella takes the game process and groups together sets of related data involved in the process. She then identifies the messages the data should respond to. After writing the code for each set of data, Isabella then combines, tests, and refines the subsets until the software runs properly.
c) Christopher breaks down the whole game process into modules. He then organizes these small parts into a conditional structure where problems are solved by choosing correct conditions. Christopher can then solve or program the structure and recombine it into the whole program.

Answer 1

The approaches represented are module-oriented programming design, object-oriented programming design, and procedural programming design.

Step-by-step explanation:

The programming design approach that Yolanda represents is module-oriented programming design.

Yolanda breaks down the whole game into modules and further breaks them down into smaller manageable parts, which she then writes and recombines into larger components.

The programming design approach that Isabella represents is object-oriented programming design.

Isabella groups related data together, identifies the messages the data should respond to, and combines, tests, and refines the subsets until the software runs properly.

The programming design approach that Christopher represents is procedural programming design.

Christopher breaks down the game process into modules and organizes them into a conditional structure where problems are solved by choosing correct conditions.
