Modularity describes a program that is organized into ______.
A)loosely coupled and highly cohesive modules
B)tightly coupled and highly cohesive modules
C)loosely coupled modules which are not cohesive
D)tightly coupled modules which are not cohesive

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Modularity refers to the organization of a program into discrete, self-contained modules that are loosely coupled (meaning they have minimal dependencies on each other) but highly cohesive (meaning they have a clear and specific purpose/function). This approach makes it easier to develop, test, maintain, and change the program over time. Tightly coupled modules (option B) can create problems when changes are made to one module and affect others, while loosely coupled but non-cohesive modules (option C) may not provide clear functionality or be modularized in a meaningful way. Tightly coupled and non-cohesive modules (option D) can create significant difficulty when testing, debugging, and maintaining the program.
