The document discusses the exploratory program development style, which is an informal approach allowing programmers to rely on intuition rather than systematic methodologies. This style, primarily used for small programs and by students, faces limitations including increased development time and costs, unmaintainable code, and challenges in team environments. The document highlights that this approach is mostly outdated and not favored in professional settings.

 Exploratory program development style refers to an informal
development style or builds and fix the style in which the programmer
uses his own intuition to develop a program rather than making use of the
systematic body of knowledge which is categorized under the software
engineering discipline.
 This style of development gives complete freedom to programmers to
choose activities which they like to develop software. This dirty program is
quickly developed and bugs are fixed whenever it arises.

Usage
 This style of software development is only used for the
development of small programs. Nowadays, this style is only
used by students in their labs to complete their assignments
only. This style is not really used in industries nowadays.

The shortcoming of this model
 Using this model, there is the exponential growth of development time effort
and cost with problem size and large-sized software becomes almost
impossible using this style of development.
 This style of development results in unmaintainable code because
programming without planning always results in unstructured and poor-quality
code.
 Also, it is difficult to use this style when there is a proper developing team
because in this style every developer uses his own intuition to develop
software.
