• This is the most likely event during the analysis phase. It involves:

 The algorithm’s success depends on the correct sequence of steps. The steps should first declare the variable Diff before attempting to use it in calculations. If the declaration of Diff (step 4) is not done prior to its use (step 1), the algorithm will attempt to use an undeclared variable, which will result in an error. Therefore, switching steps 1 and 4 ensures that Diff is declared before any operations are performed on it.

References: The importance of the correct sequence of steps in algorithm design is a fundamental concept in programming and can be found in introductory texts on algorithms and programming languages. It is also a standard practice in software development to declare variables before their use to avoid runtime errors.

One of the fundamental characteristics of object-oriented programming (OOP) is the concept of decomposing a program into objects that interact with one another1. This is distinct from procedural and functional programming paradigms, which do not inherently structure programs as a collection of objects. In OOP, objects are instances of classes and contain both data (attributes) and code (methods). These objects encapsulate data and operations and can interact with each other through methods, allowing for concepts such as inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation12.

In contrast, procedural programming is characterized by a focus on procedures or routines to perform tasks, and functional programming treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions without side effects or state changes2. Neither paradigm organizes code around objects with encapsulated data and methods, which is a defining feature of OOP1.
