- B.
Decrease the length of the string
- C.

The correct answer is "All of the above". In order to make the statement evaluate to true, any of the mentioned modifications can be made. Changing the condition to >= will make it true if the length of the string is greater than or equal to 10. Decreasing the length of the string will also make the condition evaluate to true if the length becomes less than or equal to 10. Lastly, changing the print statement will not affect the evaluation of the condition, but it is still a valid modification.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not a valid assignment operator?
- A.
+=
- B.
-=
- C.
*=
- D.
X=
Correct Answer

The given answer, X=, is not a valid assignment operator. In programming, an assignment operator is used to assign a value to a variable. The operators +=, -=, and *= are valid assignment operators that perform addition, subtraction, and multiplication respectively. However, X= does not follow the syntax of an assignment operator. It should be a valid variable name followed by the = sign and a value to be assigned. Therefore, X= is not a valid assignment operator.Rate this question:
