Exam 1: Software Engineering Principles and C++ Classes

In OOP, each object consists of data and operations on that data.

The term asymptotic means the study of the function f as n becomes larger and larger without bound.

Polymorphism is the ability to use the same expression to denote different operations.

Private, public, and protected are member access specifiers.

The members of a class are classified into three categories called ____ access specifiers.

The output of ____ is immediately sent to the standard error stream, which is usually the screen.

Encapsulation is the ability to create new data types from existing data types.

A(n) ____ is a data type that separates the logical properties from the implementation details.

A postcondition is a statement specifying what is true before the function call is completed.

In C++, the mechanism that allows you to combine data and the operations on that data in a single unit is called a class.

The destructor automatically executes when the class object goes out of ____.

In the function ____, the growth rate is quadrupled when the problem size is doubled.

The members of a class are classified into three categories: private, public, and main.

Software engineers typically break the software development process into the following four phases: analysis, design, implementation, and testing and debugging.

OOD has three basic principles: encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism.

A program that is well developed is more expensive to maintain.

The components of a class are called objects.

By default, all members of a class are ____.

Deciding which member to make private and which to make public depends on the ____ of the member.

In the software maintenance process, the program is modified to fix the (identified) problems and/or to enhance it.
