200-901 Question 14
Select 3A developer is working on a Python project that leverages the Cisco Meraki API to automate network configurations. The code has grown complex and is difficult to maintain due to repetitive logic scattered across the script. How can organizing the code into methods, classes, and modules improve the maintainability and reusability of the project?
- A
It allows the developer to reuse functionality by calling methods instead of duplicating code.
- B
It makes the code easier to test, as individual methods and classes can be tested independently.
- C
It increases the performance of the code by executing methods and functions faster than inline code.
- D
It improves readability by logically grouping related functionality into modules or classes.
- E
It reduces the likelihood of syntax errors during execution by enforcing stricter coding rules.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
Organizing code into methods, classes, and modules enhances maintainability, readability, and reusability. It allows developers to reuse logic, test individual components independently, and better understand the project's structure. Although it improves code structure, it does not inherently impact execution performance or directly reduce syntax errors.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Reusing methods or functions eliminates the need to duplicate code, reducing redundancy and enhancing maintainability.
- B. Correct.
Correct. By organizing code into methods or classes, each component can be tested in isolation, making debugging and testing more efficient.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Organizing code into methods, classes, and modules does not inherently increase performance; it primarily improves structure and maintainability.
- D. Correct.
Correct. Logical grouping of related functionality makes the code more readable and easier to navigate for developers.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Organizing code into methods, classes, and modules does not directly reduce syntax errors, although it may promote better coding practices.
