Figure 13-2 Once programmers develop the solution algorithm using a program flowchart (as shown in Figure 13-2) or pseudocode, they should ____, or check, the program design for accuracy.
A) authenticate 
B) encapsulate 
C) validate 
D) consolidate

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "validate" means to check the accuracy and reliability of something, which is exactly what programmers need to do after developing a program flowchart or pseudocode. Therefore, option C is the best choice. The other options (authenticate, encapsulate, and consolidate) do not accurately describe the process of checking a program design for accuracy.
