medium🧠 Conceptual Q4 of Q15

Intro to Computing - What is Computing

AThe app randomly chooses a route without any data.

BThe app only shows the starting point without directions.

CThe app calculates the fastest route using data and algorithms.

DThe app requires the user to draw the map manually.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand how navigation apps work
