What are the things to avoid in creating variable identifiers?
- A.
Using reserve words
- B.
Starting with a number
- C.
Using spaces
- D.
Combining capital and small letters in one word
Correct Answer(s)
A. Using reserve words
B. Starting with a number
C. Using spacesExplanation
The correct answer for this question is using reserve words, starting with a number, and using spaces. These are all common mistakes to avoid when creating variable identifiers. Reserve words are words that are already reserved for specific purposes in programming languages, so using them as variable names can lead to errors. Starting a variable identifier with a number is also not allowed in most programming languages. Using spaces in variable names can cause confusion and make the code harder to read. Finally, combining capital and small letters in one word can make the code less consistent and harder to understand.Rate this question:

Analyze the following program: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int x,y, z; int a,b; x=10; y=x % 2; z = x + y * 2; x=z; a=x+y; b=a-5; } What is the final value of b?
Correct Answer
5Explanation
The final value of b is 5 because the value of x is initially 10. Then, y is assigned the value of x % 2, which is 0. Next, z is calculated as x + y * 2, which is 10 + 0 * 2 = 10. x is then assigned the value of z, which is 10. a is calculated as x + y, which is 10 + 0 = 10. Finally, b is calculated as a - 5, which is 10 - 5 = 5. Therefore, the final value of b is 5.Rate this question:

Analyze the following program:#include <iostream>using namespace std;int main(){ int x,y, z; int a,b; x=10; y=x; z = x+y; x=z; a=x+y; b=a-5;}What is the final value of b?
Correct Answer
25Explanation
The final value of b is 25 because the program assigns the value of 10 to x, then assigns the value of x to y. It then adds x and y together and assigns the result to z. Next, it assigns the value of z to x. After that, it adds x and y together and assigns the result to a. Finally, it subtracts 5 from a and assigns the result to b. Since the value of a is 25, subtracting 5 from it gives us the final value of b, which is also 25.Rate this question:

x=10; y=2;if (x%y == y) x = x * y - 5;else x = x * 2 / y;y = x;cout<
Correct Answer
1010Explanation
The code first checks if the remainder of x divided by y is equal to y. Since 10 divided by 2 is 5 with no remainder, the condition is true. Therefore, x is updated to be the product of x and y (10*2) minus 5, which is 15. The else condition is skipped. Finally, y is assigned the value of x, which is 15. The output of the code will be 1010.Rate this question:

What is the result of the following logical expression?x=12; y=x%4; z = x / (y+2);T && !F II (y>z && !F)
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The logical expression evaluates to True because all the conditions in the expression are true. The variable x is assigned the value 12, y is assigned the remainder of x divided by 4 which is 0, and z is assigned the result of x divided by (y+2) which is 12/2 = 6. The first condition T (True) is true. The second condition !F (not False) is also true. The third condition (y>z && !F) is true because 0 is greater than 6 and not False. Therefore, the overall logical expression is true.Rate this question:
