C. 0Explanation
Upon the successful completion of a program, it is standard practice to return the value 0 to the operating system.

What punctuation is used to signal the beginning and end of code blocks?
- A.
{ }
- B.
-> and
- C.
BEGIN and END
- D.
( and )
Correct Answer
A. { }Explanation
The punctuation used to signal the beginning and end of code blocks is { }. This is commonly used in programming languages like C, C++, Java, and JavaScript. The opening curly brace { signifies the start of a code block, while the closing curly brace } signifies the end of the code block. This helps in organizing and structuring the code by defining the scope of the block and making it easier to read and understand.Rate this question:

Instead, the correct keyword for representing decimal numbers is "float" or "double". The other options listed (float, int, and double) are all valid variable types commonly used in programming.Rate this question:

The answer "All of the above" is correct because all the options listed (1, 66, .1, -1) are true. Each option represents a different numerical value, but they are all valid and true in their own right. Therefore, the statement "All of the above" accurately reflects the truth of each individual option.Rate this question:

Evaluate !(1 && !(0 || 1)).
- A.
True
- B.
False
- C.
Unevaluatable
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The expression !(1 && !(0 || 1)) can be evaluated as follows:
First, the innermost parentheses (0 || 1) evaluate to true because it represents the logical OR operation between 0 (false) and 1 (true).
Next, the expression !(0 || 1) evaluates to false because it represents the logical NOT operation on the result of the previous step.
Finally, the expression !(1 && !(0 || 1)) evaluates to true because it represents the logical NOT operation on the result of the logical AND operation between 1 (true) and the previous step (false). Therefore, the correct answer is True.Rate this question:
