CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U61) — Question 258

Which of the following programming language types is generally the FASTEST way to write a program ad hoc tasks quickly?

Answer options

• A. Compiled programming language
• B. Assembly language
• C. Scripting language
• D. Pseudocode

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Scripting languages are designed for rapid development and ease of use, making them ideal for quickly writing programs for ad hoc tasks. Compiled programming languages generally require more setup and compilation time, while assembly language is low-level and more complex. Pseudocode, although useful for planning, is not an executable language, thus not suitable for actual programming.
