Discuss ISC2 CSSLP Exam Topic 11 Question 76

Which of the following coding practices are helpful in simplifying code?

Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.

AProgrammers should use multiple small and simple functions rather than a single complex
function.

BSoftware should avoid ambiguities and hidden assumptions, recursions, and GoTo statements.

CProgrammers should implement high-consequence functions in minimum required lines of code
and follow proper coding standards.

DProcesses should have multiple entry and exit points.

Suggested Answer: A

The Biba model is a formal state transition system of computer security policy that describes a set of access control rules

designed to ensure data integrity. Data and subjects are grouped into ordered levels of integrity. The model is designed so that subjects may

not corrupt data in a level ranked higher than the subject, or be corrupted by data from a lower level than the subject.

C makes sense, but sometimes you need more lines for clarity.

Mona 11 months ago

Wait, are we really saying GoTo is bad? I thought it had its uses!

Gwen 11 months ago

B is a must, hidden assumptions can lead to bugs.

Catarina 11 months ago

I disagree with D, multiple entry and exit points can complicate things.

Marguerita 11 months ago

A is definitely true, small functions are easier to manage.

Earlean 12 months ago

D seems a bit off to me. I thought having multiple entry and exit points could actually complicate things rather than simplify them.

Ty 12 months ago

I feel like C makes sense too, especially about following coding standards. But I wonder if implementing high-consequence functions in minimum lines is always a good idea.

Arlene 12 months ago

I’m not entirely sure about B. I think avoiding ambiguities is important, but I'm not clear on how GoTo statements fit into simplifying code.

Barbra 1 year ago

I remember we discussed how breaking down complex functions into smaller ones can really help with readability. So, I think A is definitely a good choice.

Leonie 1 year ago

I think the key here is identifying practices that make the code more readable and maintainable. Focusing on things like following standards and minimizing lines of code for critical functions seems like a solid strategy.

Olive 1 year ago

I'm a bit confused by the "multiple entry and exit points" option. I'm not sure if that's actually considered a good coding practice for simplifying code. I'll have to research that one more.

Felix 1 year ago

Okay, let's see. Using multiple small and simple functions instead of one complex function - that makes sense to me. Avoiding ambiguities and recursions also seems like a good practice.

Gladys 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about some of these options. I'll need to think through each one carefully to determine which ones are actually helpful.

Carisa 1 year ago

This seems like a pretty straightforward question. I'm confident I can identify the correct coding practices to simplify code.

Susy 1 year ago

I'm feeling confident about this one. The options seem clear, and I have a good idea of how to approach it.

Ashley 1 year ago

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is to enable the Submit button after a key press on the Password field. Option B looks like the right approach.

Tamie 1 year ago

Hmm, this looks like a configuration question. I'll need to carefully read through the options and think about where the session duration would be set in the Session Border Controller.

A, B, and C are the way to go. As for D, that sounds more like a recipe for spaghetti code. What is this, the 1970s?
