I need something I can print out to back up a certain answer to show a board of instructors that may not know programming, or the context of the question. Therefore I need word from someone other than my own. If you have the time, please read the question, both answers and answer the questions below. Thanks!
Exact question from the short essay portion of the test:
"Describe how the save command in Windows applications work. Specifically, address how it handles a file that has been previously saved and how it handles a file that has not been previously saved."
Answer #1
The save command in standard Windows applications is programed to save work in the current application without further instruction unless required. Further instructions may be required if the work being saved has not previously been saved to a file and the application requires a filename to save it as. In this case, the application will allow / require you to choose a path and filename as if you used the Save As command.
Answer #2
IF not already saved, the Save As dialog box is displayed.
Which answer covers the logic and appearance of the behavior the question refers to?
Which answer contains more detail?
Which answer is more of a "short essay?"
Which answer appears to have been written to cover every possible point the instructor was looking for?
Now which answer is short and to the point?
Does it mean a long and detailed answer is incorrect?
Thanks again!
