Question

kira is a programmer who has just been assigned to update a program that someone else wrote. she wants to see the information that describes the software to help her understand how it is supposed to work. which of these should she ask for?
(1 point)

the pseudocode

the documentation

the structured functions

the object files

Explanation:

To determine what Kira should ask for, we analyze each option:

• Pseudocode is a simplified code - like representation, but it's more for planning the code rather than describing the existing software's functionality for understanding.
• Documentation is specifically created to describe the software, including how it's supposed to work, its features, and other relevant details. This is exactly what Kira needs to understand the existing program.
• Structured functions are part of the code's implementation, not a description of how the software is supposed to work.
• Object files are compiled code files and don't provide a description of the software's intended functionality.

Answer:

B. the documentation
