Quiz Question 1 of 5
Why might a university-level computer science course emphasize the use of pseudocode and HIPO (Hierarchy plus Input Process Output) for documenting program logic, even though many modern development environments provide more sophisticated tools?
Choose the correct answer below:
-
A
University courses prefer traditional methods like pseudocode and HIPO to maintain a standard curriculum that is consistent across institutions.
-
B
These methods enforce a disciplined approach to understanding and organizing program logic, which is crucial for developing the foundational skills needed in more advanced programming.
-
C
Modern tools often hide the complexity of program design, leading to poorly structured code that pseudocode and HIPO help prevent.
-
D
Pseudocode and HIPO are easier to learn than modern tools, making them more accessible to beginners in computer science.
