Which of the following statements is false?
A)Prior to functional programming,you typically determined what you wanted to accomplish,then specified the precise steps to accomplish that task.
B)Using a loop to iterate over a collection of elements is known as external iteration and requires accessing the elements sequentially.Such iteration also requires mutable variables.External iteration is easier to parallelize.
C)Letting the library determine how to iterate over a collection of elements is known as internal iteration.
D)Functional programming focuses on immutability-not modifying the data source being processed or any other program state.

All other statements are true. Statement B incorrectly states that external iteration is easier to parallelize. In fact, internal iteration can be easily parallelized since the library can utilize multiple cores to process the collection simultaneously. External iteration, on the other hand, requires explicit synchronization to avoid race conditions when multiple threads access the same mutable variables.
