18. Why can polymorphism and dynamic binding have a negative impact on inheritance?
Your response: A. This statement is not true. Like all object-oriented concepts

Polymorphism and dynamic binding make the object harder to understand as there are
multiple possibilities for a specific method. Schach S7.8 p203

followed; "the output from one element in the component serves as input for some other element"?
Your response: A. None of these

the highest strength?

other cohesion levels except functional and informational. Schach C7.2.5
24. How does inheritance in an object-oriented design affect its understandability?

26. Which one of the following statements is FALSE?

Your response: A. Function-oriented design and object-oriented design are
complementary design strategies.
Incorrect.

27. Object-oriented languages are so effective for rapid prototyping because ___
Your response: A. fewer Lines Of Code (LOC) are required to produce a Function Point
(FP) than for other comparable languages.
Incorrect.
Object-oriented languages are so effective for rapid prototyping because the components
can be readily adapted by creating new (sub-) components that inherit the atrtibutes and
operations of the original component. Only attributes and operations that need to be changed
have to be modified.
