In the spreadsheet below, provide an example of a label?
Correct Answer
computer ledger
car loan
interest
# of payments
Monthly Pmt.Explanation
The correct answer is all the options provided (computer ledger, car loan, interest, # of payments, Monthly Pmt.) because these are all examples of labels that can be used in a spreadsheet. Labels are used to identify and categorize data in a spreadsheet, making it easier to understand and analyze the information. In this case, the options provided are all examples of labels that could be used to categorize different types of financial data.Rate this question:
- 11.
True or False: Labels do not have a value associated with them
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Labels do not have a value associated with them because they are used solely for identification or categorization purposes. Unlike variables or constants, labels do not store or represent any specific data or information. They are typically used to provide names or descriptions to elements in a program or to mark certain sections of code for easier navigation and organization. Therefore, the statement "Labels do not have a value associated with them" is true.Rate this question:

True or False: Constants are entires that do not have a specified value
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
This statement is incorrect. Constants are entries that have a specified value and cannot be changed during the execution of a program. They are used to store values that are fixed and do not change throughout the program's execution. Therefore, the correct answer is False.Rate this question:
