- D.
20
- E.
21
Correct Answer
E. 21Explanation
The code initializes the variable z to 15. The while loop condition checks if z is less than or equal to 20. Inside the loop, z is incremented by 2. The loop continues until z becomes greater than 20. After the loop, the value of z, which is 21, is printed followed by a new line. Therefore, the output from the given fragment is 21.Rate this question:

Which of the following statements about value parameters is true?
- A.
The argument is never modified by execution of the called function
- B.
The parameter is never modified by execution of the called function
- C.
The argument must be a variable
- D.
The argument can not have a Boolean value
- E.
Both a and b
Correct Answer
A. The argument is never modified by execution of the called functionExplanation
The correct answer is that the argument is never modified by the execution of the called function. This means that when a function is called with a value parameter, the value of the argument remains unchanged throughout the execution of the function. The function can perform operations on the parameter, but it cannot modify the original argument that was passed to it.Rate this question:

Which of the following statements about const value parameters is true?
- A.
The argument is never modified by execution of the called function
- B.
The parameter is never modified by execution of the called function
- C.
The argument must be a variable
- D.
The argument can not have a Boolean value
- E.
Both a and b
Correct Answer
E. Both a and bExplanation
Both a and b are true statements about const value parameters. The first statement, "The argument is never modified by execution of the called function," means that the value of the argument passed to the function remains unchanged throughout the function's execution. The second statement, "The parameter is never modified by execution of the called function," means that the parameter itself, which is a local variable within the function, is also not modified. Therefore, both the argument and the parameter remain constant and unmodified during the function's execution.Rate this question:

What is the output from this program fragment?for (K = 4 ; K >= 1 ; K--) { sum = 0 ; sum = sum + K ;} // end forcout << sum << endl ;
- A.
1
- B.
2
- C.
3
- D.
4
- E.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. 1Explanation
The program fragment uses a for loop to iterate from 4 to 1. Inside the loop, the variable "sum" is set to 0 and then incremented by the value of "K" in each iteration. However, since the variable "sum" is declared inside the loop, it will be re-initialized to 0 in each iteration. Therefore, when the loop ends, the value of "sum" will be 1, which is the output of the program.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. 5Explanation
The program takes input numbers and assigns the first input number to both variables m and n. Then, it enters a while loop where it checks if the current input number (n) is less than the value of m. If it is, it updates the value of m to be equal to n. This process continues until the input number becomes 0. Finally, the program displays the value of m, which is the smallest input number entered. In this case, the smallest input number is 5, so the value displayed by the cout statement is 5.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. 3Explanation
Within the given program, the variable m is assigned a value within the loop three times. This happens when the condition n < m is true, and in each iteration, the value of n is read from the input. The variable m is initially assigned the value of n before entering the loop, and then it is updated whenever a smaller value of n is encountered. Therefore, the loop assigns a value to m three times.Rate this question:

The program uses nested for loops to print a pattern of asterisks and spaces. The outer loop iterates three times, representing the rows of the pattern. The first inner loop prints asterisks in a row, starting from the current row number and going up to the third row. The second inner loop prints spaces in a row, starting from 0 and going up to the current row number. After each row is printed, a new line is added. The pattern formed by the program is three rows of asterisks, followed by two rows of asterisks and spaces, and finally one row of asterisks.Rate this question:

You want to write a loop to read a large number of data values.The end of input os to be signaled by a sentinel value.Which of the following is a true statement?
- A.
Sentinel must be a very large number
- B.
Sentinel must be zero
- C.
Sentinel can be anything that does not appear in the actual input, but only at its end
- D.
Sentinel value must appear several times within the actual input and also at the end
- E.
Sentinel must be negative
Correct Answer
C. Sentinel can be anything that does not appear in the actual input, but only at its endExplanation
The correct answer is that the sentinel can be anything that does not appear in the actual input, but only at its end. This means that the sentinel value can be any value that is not part of the actual data being inputted, but is used to signal the end of input. It does not have to be a very large number, zero, negative, or appear multiple times within the input. As long as the sentinel value is unique and does not appear in the actual input, it can be used to indicate the end of input in the loop.Rate this question:

A function (other than main) can call another function.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
A function (other than main) can call another function. This means that within the body of a function, we can include a call to another function to execute a specific set of instructions. This allows for modular programming, where different functions can be created to perform specific tasks and then called as needed within the program. By calling another function, we can reuse code and make our program more organized and efficient.Rate this question:

The function that appears first within the program is the first one to be activated.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement "The function that appears first within the program is the first one to be activated" is false. In most programming languages, the order in which functions appear in the program does not determine the order of their activation. The execution of functions is typically determined by the flow of control within the program, such as function calls and conditional statements. Functions can be called from other functions, and their activation depends on when they are called during the program's execution.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
This statement is false. A program does not necessarily need to contain another function in addition to the main function. The main function is the entry point of a program and it can be the only function in a program. Additional functions can be included in a program depending on the requirements and complexity of the program, but it is not a mandatory requirement.Rate this question:

The arguments must never have the same names as the parameters.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement is false because arguments can have the same names as the parameters. In programming, arguments are the values that are passed into a function when it is called, while parameters are the variables that are declared in the function definition. The names of the arguments and parameters can be the same or different, depending on the programming language and the specific requirements of the function.Rate this question:

A function must have a return statement.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
A function does not necessarily have to have a return statement. Some functions are designed to perform a task or modify data without returning a value. These functions are called "void" functions and are commonly used for actions such as printing output or updating variables. In such cases, the function is not required to have a return statement.Rate this question:

Complete the program fragment using while statement that will display the numbers 1 to 19 ( in steps of 3, i.e. 1, 4, 7, ..., 19) with one number per output line.int number = _____ ;while (number <= 19) { cout << number << endl ; number = number + 3 ;} // end while
Correct Answer
1Explanation
The given program fragment uses a while loop to display numbers from 1 to 19 in steps of 3. The variable "number" is initialized to 1, and the while loop continues as long as "number" is less than or equal to 19. Inside the loop, the current value of "number" is printed using the cout statement, and then "number" is incremented by 3. This process repeats until "number" exceeds 19, resulting in the numbers 1, 4, 7, ..., 19 being displayed on separate output lines.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
sum = sum + number
sum = (sum + number)
sum = number + sum
sum = (number + sum)Explanation
The correct answer is "sum = sum + number, sum = (sum + number), sum = number + sum, sum = (number + sum)". In order to find the sum total of the 10 integer values, the program needs to add each number to the current value of the sum variable. This can be done by using the expression "sum = sum + number" or "sum += number". Both expressions are equivalent and will update the value of the sum variable by adding the current number.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
sumExplanation
The program reads 10 integer values using a loop and finds the sum total of those numbers. It initializes a variable "sum" to 0 and a variable "k" to 1. Then, it enters a while loop that executes as long as "k" is less than or equal to 10. Inside the loop, it prompts the user to enter a number, reads the number from the user, and adds it to the current value of "sum". After each iteration, it increments the value of "k" by 1. Finally, outside the loop, it prints the value of "sum" as the result.Rate this question:

Complete the following program which is supposed to read the test scores of students in a class and compute the class average. The individual test scores should be within the range 0 to 100. If a test score is entered that is outside of the range, then it should be ignored and not used for the calculation of the class average so that the class average is based on valid scores only.int main () { int k, score, validCount = 0, classSize ; cout << "Enter number of students in class: " ; cin >> __________; k = 1 ; while (k <= classSize) { cout << "Enter a test score: " ; cin >> score ; if (score >= 0 && score <= 100) { validCount = validCount + 1 ; sum = sum + score ; } // end if k = k + 1 ; } // end while classAvg = sum / validCount ; // S1 cout << "The class average is " << classAvg << endl ; return 0;} // end main
Correct Answer
classSizeExplanation
The variable "classSize" is used to store the number of students in the class. It is initialized by taking input from the user using the "cin" statement. This value is then used in the while loop to iterate through each student's test score. The size of the class determines the number of times the loop will execute.Rate this question:

If a test score is entered that is outside of the range, then it should be ignored and not used for the calculation of the class average so that the class average is based on valid scores only.int main () { int k, score, validCount = 0, classSize ; cout << "Enter number of students in class: " ; cin >> classSize ; ________; while (k <= classSize) { cout << "Enter a test score: " ; cin >> score ; if (score >= 0 && score <= 100) { validCount = validCount + 1 ; sum = sum + score ; } // end if k = k + 1 ; } // end while classAvg = sum / validCount ; // S1 cout << "The class average is " << classAvg << endl ; return 0;} // end main
Correct Answer
k = 1Explanation
The variable "k" is used as a counter to keep track of the number of test scores entered. It is initially assigned a value of 1 because the loop starts from 1. As the loop iterates, the value of "k" is incremented by 1 in each iteration until it reaches the value of "classSize". This ensures that the loop will run for the specified number of students in the class.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
kExplanation
The variable "k" is used as a counter to keep track of the number of test scores entered by the user. It is initialized to 1 before the while loop starts, and it is incremented by 1 at the end of each iteration of the loop. This ensures that the loop continues until the number of iterations reaches the class size entered by the user. Therefore, "k" is the correct answer.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
cin >> scoreExplanation
The missing code in the program is "cin >> score". This line of code is used to input the test score from the user. It allows the user to enter a test score, which is then stored in the variable "score". This input is necessary in order to calculate the class average.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
score >= 0Explanation
The blank in the if statement should be filled with "score >= 0" to ensure that the test score is within the range of 0 to 100. This condition checks if the score is greater than or equal to 0, which means it is a valid score. If the score is less than 0 or greater than 100, it will not be considered for the calculation of the class average.Rate this question:

validCount = validCount + 1
validCount = (validCount + 1)
validCount++
validCount ++Explanation
The correct answer is validCount++. This statement increments the value of validCount by 1, indicating that a valid test score has been entered. It is used to keep track of the number of valid scores entered in order to calculate the class average correctly.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
sumExplanation
The variable "sum" is used to accumulate the total sum of valid test scores entered by the user. It is initialized before the while loop and updated inside the if statement whenever a valid score is entered. Finally, the class average is calculated by dividing the sum by the number of valid scores (validCount).Rate this question:

Correct Answer
validCountExplanation
The variable "validCount" keeps track of the number of valid test scores entered by the user. It is incremented by 1 each time a valid score is entered. This variable is used to calculate the class average by dividing the sum of valid scores by the number of valid scores. Therefore, "validCount" is the correct answer as it represents the total number of valid scores entered by the user.Rate this question:
