Correct Answer:

Verified

Proponents of this kind of programming claim it reduces the time required for the program development cycle.

With this kind of design, when the structure of an object changes, any program that accesses the object automatically accesses the change.

With object-oriented design, programmers use this to represent classes and their hierarchical relationships graphically.

Programs written in this kind of language are easily portable to other computers.

Its powerful features make it well-suited for developing electronic presentations, CDs or DVDs for education and entertainment, and simulations.

To help document this, programmers use design tools.

An important concept in RAD is the use of these.

Each programming language has a particular one.

Tcl's companion program, which allows Web page authors to build graphical user interfaces.

The action(s) in this kind of control structure always will execute at least once.

Programmers use this to develop small- and medium-scale client/server applications.

Programmers usually discover these the first time they attempt to compile or interpret the program code on a computer.

This greatly decreases the amount of time a new programmer spends learning about existing programs.

Pseudocode uses these to identify the control structures.

Whether using structured design or object-oriented design, programmers typically use these to describe the tasks a program is to perform.

With this, a programmer examines program values while the program runs in slow motion.

Programmers must convert an assembly language program into this before the computer can execute, or run, the program.
