Question

15. (Microsoft Visual Basic)

The following are equivalent While and Until statements. (T/F)

While (num > 2) And (num < 5) 'xxx num= 0 --> false
Until (num <= 2) Or (num >= 5)'xxx num= 0 --> true

Hints: While and Until use the opposite logic condition
True
False

(Microsoft Visual Basic)

Answer 1

The statement provided is false because the 'While' loop condition and the 'Until' loop condition given represent different ranges of the variable 'num' and therefore are not equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is false. In Visual Basic, While loops continue to run as long as the condition is True, whereas Do Until loops run until the condition is True. For the given While statement, the condition is num > 2 And num < 5, which means the loop will execute when 'num' is greater than 2 and less than 5.

On the other hand, the Until statement has the condition num <= 2 Or num >= 5, which will be True when 'num' is less than or equal to 2 or greater than or equal to 5. These two conditions are not equivalent because they represent different ranges of 'num'.
