Design Patterns MCQs

Design patterns are proven solutions to common software design problems. They provide a template for writing code that is more flexible, reusable, and easier to maintain. Some well-known design patterns include Singleton, Factory, Observer, and Strategy, each addressing specific challenges in software design.

A. 1,2

B. 1,3

C. all of the above

D. none of the above.

5. When the deadline for the coding assignment is only 2 days, how will you prioritize design patterns and code architecture for it?

A. As the deadline is too strict, I will only do the implementation properly and will not worry about the quality of the code.

B. No matter what is the deadline, I will try the best code of my life. I will ask for some buffer days if I am not able to manage the deadline but I will not compromise on code quality.

C. I will skip the assignment because the deadline is too strict and there is no point in submitting the rushed code.

6. What does MVC stand for?

A. Model-View-Component

B. Model-Value-Component

C. Model-View-Controller

D. Model-Value-Controller

7. Who invokes the actual actions (e.g., Action1() and Action2()) in the Command Pattern?

A. The Client

B. The Command Invoker

C. The Concrete Command

D. The Receiver

8. Why is the WillHitTarget() method moved to the UnitCommand class from the IAction class?

A. To ensure consistent results when executing the same command

B. To increase code modularity

C. To simplify the implementation of IAction

D. To make the code more readable

9. Can the Command Pattern be used for implementing undo and replay features in non-deterministic game engines?

A. Yes, by recording and replaying individual player actions just like in deterministic engines.

B. Yes, by periodically taking snapshots of the game state to provide some level of consistency.

C. No, the Command Pattern is not suitable for non-deterministic game engines.

D. Yes, by creating branching timelines to account for the multiple possible outcomes.

10. What is the responsibility of the Command Invoker in the Command Pattern?

A. It creates specific implementations of commands.

B. It triggers the execution of commands and manages them.

C. It carries out the actual actions associated with commands.

D. It acts as the client in the pattern.

11. Can the Command Pattern be used for implementing undo and replay features in games with continuous gameplay?

A. Yes, by storing player actions as command objects and replaying them in the same order as they were originally executed.

B. No, the Command Pattern is only suitable for games with discrete gameplay, and it cannot handle continuous gameplay.

C. Yes, by employing a time-stamped command queue to maintain the sequence of actions for replay.

D. Yes, as long as you have a Time-Traveling Unicorn

12. How does the Command Pattern encapsulate method invocations?

A. It separates the client, receiver, and action itself, by representing actions as objects.

B. How to execute the action itself.

C. The encapsulated request to execute.

D. Nothing at all

14. When implementing the Undo feature, why should each command class have an Undo() method that knows how to reverse its action?

B. To enable players to undo multiple actions simultaneously.

C. To ensure that the Undo feature works seamlessly with all unit actions.

D. To store a history of commands in a separate registry.

15. In the Command Pattern, what does the term "Abstract Command" represent?

D. An indie studio working on a tower defence game with many different troops.

19. How can improper communication protocols between MVC components lead to issues in software development?

A. By improving code readability and organization, leading to more efficient development processes.

B. By increasing code coupling and dependency, making it difficult to isolate and modify individual components.

Introduction to Design Patterns

Design patterns are the best and most reusable practices used by experienced object-oriented developers. These patterns provide a procedural solution to solve a common problem and reduce the complexities in your code.


Advantages of Design Pattern

The main advantages of the design patterns are as follows:

  1. Reusability
  2. Maintainability
  3. Scalability
  4. Improved Communication
  5. Enhanced Code Quality
