Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 1, Problem 12RQ
Explanation of Solution
Reliable
A program is said to be reliable, if under all condition, the program performs according to its specifications.
- In simple words, it means that the program must be robust enough to handle any data which is provided as the input to it and should be able to compute the correct output.
- Since the end user of the application can give any type of input to the program, so if the program crashes to any of the inputs, it will be a sure turn off to the user and nobody would want such a program.
- So, a program should be able to handle whatever the type of input is given by the user. Type checking and Exception handling are the most important features of a language which can help a programmer to write reliable codes...
